Analysis of Light That Hates To Be Regular (Chain Senryu)
Nick Adegwe-Oshomah 1959 (Iyerekhu)
At push of button
Light springs into our homes
Bearing joy and hope.
Again a push of button
The light departs, no warning
Breeding hate, despair.
Here, this is routine;
The light hates to be regular,
Thrives in hide and seek.
