Analysis of Like, An Expired Lamp
I am like an old
And an expired lamp
You may decorate that
In your comfortable room,
For your thoughts-beauty
And inspired vision
For your pleasure and joy
But if you try
To switch that on
You may feel the regret
Think multiple times
Before what you decide
That leads you
To making the right choice
