Just a little love poem
This is a typical post to my blog, sometimes it will be here, but most times I publish only on the blog

http://road-scholar-lowly-scribe.blogspot.com/2015/02/no-need-of-lights.html

No Need of Lights

I have no need for these bald ugly headed lights
The sun is nearly up and they only tire my eyes
Their hum is atrocious and makes it hard to think
So out with you, and in with the dawn

When night time falls and I need to see
These artificial lights will guide me
I wish them no ill will, all though
They sear my mind and disturb my eyes

The other choices are just as bad
Some smelly candle or oil lamp
The only light that is kind to me
Is the light that burns away the dew

Yes, yes, I know this is anti-social
What kind of person hates the modern examples
Why should I be so segregated
Because I can be, and besides, my keyboard is illuminated.

I would like to also note that I do not like the way this worked out, I just wanted to post a link so if anyone wanted to read the poem they could have gone to the blog to do so, because I just wanted to show what was typical of the blog, but whatever, this site has its way of doing things, and even if I do not agree, it works for most people I guess.
