While
you give light and signal messages
To
distant sea vessels and ships
At
your foot darkness persists.
Therefore,
Lighthouse,
You
are a paradox at its best!
Your
watchman is more concerned
With
distant occurrences
Than
what is happening right under his feet.
Answer
me Lighthouse,
Are
you a building of care or neglect?
The
splendid edifice
End
up on a hill or island isolated
Sought
by life sailors to you they could connect.
Yet,
for that reason, Lighthouse,
To
a distant lover you are likened.
In
Palaces, slavery are reminded to slaves
And
Cathedrals add guilt to sinners
Bridges
are affront to swimmers.
Indeed,
true, Lighthouse,
With
firmness and all, you are affirmative!
