Light 'em Up

In darkness floats a lonely orb
Inhabited by lonely folk
Their universe is harsh and cold
An existential dirty joke

Find a candle!
�
Little sparks through history
Philosophers and sages, bold
Dismissed, as feeble sophistry
And so, the dark retains control
�
Light a candle!
�
Even though their hearts cry out
They choose the darkness, cold and dank
They mock the light, as too devout
And chase the things most foul and rank
�
Light your candle!
�
Alone, you can�t illume the world
Yet, you can light a single heart
The light of love, when once unfurled
Two candles� brightness now imparts
�
Light your candles!
�
Trust not in principalities
And rulers who in darkness reign
Light your own locality
Your love and light will break those chains!
�
Light more candles!
�
With all these billions candles lit
Our universe, so bright and warm
Then, bearing out the holy writ
Love�s light becomes a fire storm!
�
Light �em up!
�
