It's just a lamp.

They stand by quietly, lining our every streets and every walkways.

They watch us as we walk past them. They are the witnesses of numerous activities around us than what we think we know.

They 'sleep' only (usually) when we wake, and do their job dutifully as the sun gets ready to set.

Yet, how many of us lift our heads to acknowledge their presence. 

How many of us constantly remind ourselves what and how each lamp contribute to our safety? 

We are now so pampered to expect our paths to be lit as we walk in the night. We have come to expect this as an auto function that when night falls - hey bingo, we can still see our roads! Why worry? 

Have we reached a stage where we do not know what is/are present when things work out well, but will only know something's absent when problems surface?

Take some time, look around you as you walk, raise your head and give kudos to these silent contributors as they shower us brightness when our solar power goes to sleep.

Appreciate our surrounding today.

Have we ever wonder what it will be like should we lose all these 'auto' things that we don't even bat an eyelid for one day?
