Darkness and light

We light the way

When dark, we welcome a candle
Light, darkness cannot handle
Sacrificing itself for light to spread
Making it safe for all to tread

We carry an unlit candle
Marauding like a vandal
Stealing flecks of dust
In the darkness, there’s distrust

With one another, there’s a fight
But there is no other, in light
When will it be lit, and by whom?
Darkness has a friend, it’s gloom

The light of wisdom burns
To powdery ashes, our concerns
While there’s some wax left
In wisdom’s light, we must invest

Time and effort, they dispel
Darkness in which we dwell
The match is waiting to be struck
Through hard work, not luck

When the mind’s aflame with light
In the middle of the dark night
The world is passing through
We see, darkness is working to renew

The world, to be healthy and fit
Everyone’s candle must be lit
Light and wisdom enjoy company
They welcome ours, we are so many
