The Table Lamp
Its light flows sharply downward -
angling over my feet - its white hat
shades the rest of the room,
protecting my eyes -
resisting the temptation
to light the bowels of my room,
expose my meager existence
to the devilish world that
would devour [/font]this hapless morsel
with no more than a gluttonous burp
to acknowledge the passing of such
an inconspicuous and worthless bump.
Why are such animals as we spawned on
this earth - when only here to pollute
and destroy whatever could be beautiful?
This creeping virus of humanity
will soon be dusted away
and the maker of this planet
will regain its virus free and
beautiful living garden.

The author encourages honest critique.
a couple spelling errors, like "virus" and "devour", but i like the first stanza especially. i think it could stand on its own, and the title would fit better that way as well, just my opinion. [:

thank you for pointing out the errors.
The text stands as it represents the way I was feeling at the time of writing. Perhaps a change in title might be appropriate?
