Can you hear me ??
I have no control over my life and I have a single purpose.. that is to show them the way.. the only reason I exist for. He knows not what it is like to be a street light like me, for he is busy with his work. But he is the one I often find walking past me on those deserted roads when everyone else is asleep and when the night is dying down. Every time I see him thinking about me, I have felt that he was trying to talk to me.. Sometimes I could even sense that he was having a conversation with his self or perhaps with his master, in that deep silence. He would stop by me and keep gazing at me as if I am a thing of beauty. I too gaze at him as I can’t do anything beyond that..
Ever since I was born, I have been watching people and have wondered how does it feel.. to be able to walk like them.. to be able to talk like them. They are the ones blessed with the abilities and the capabilities unique to them.. I can’t even try to think of having those.. I wish I could be of some use to them than just removing the darkness from their lives. but I can only wish.. I am supposed to be a street light that has to do its duty until the last breath of its life. My life isn’t quite interesting neither can I say it is boring, for I don’t have the discretion to say anything about my life. If only I was given a chance to speak, I would convey this all to him.. that very guy who has now become a friend of mine. Can you hear me Minko ??

good perspective , needs a better buildup and more concreteness of ideas , a bit too weak to really make an impact.
