Darkness cannot comprehend light
indeed, it's true indeed
for what's a world without light?
A nation or anywhere without glows?
where does your path lead without a lantern?

lantern to brighten the deep of the earth and
helps in the research of the night?
oh,the research of the old,new and present
would be nothing
if it not for this lantern
shining forth it mighty little light and
helping our evolution revolve

into the revolution
of ages,this age as it ages look
how our successors
will see different lanterns and
look into the past and
there will remember the stories we told
of old
of the days we sat around at night and sold
ourselves to the cold

bold of course!
our shield for heat
was the light of it fire ,we ate
and were happy to know at
the night there was a substitute for the sun
as daughters and sons
we could still play like it was day

it's our common tale of the old but we hope it stays
in their minds
we hope they will never forget
that this is part of the bounding
we share,probably even with celestials
and the underworld and up above the world
the sharing of same ideas on light
of which it shines bright but

most importantly
as equally
truly
we have our experiences differently
on our work with the lantern massively
as for me I walk impressively
with my lantern in my hands and hearts
to the ends
with no fears
of what comes next
in the future nor the dark.
