 Lanterns & Cobwebs
 by Randy Nelsen

I saw a Strange Thing today 
I walked up to a Door
There was a Lantern near The Door
The Light was Off
The Glass was very Dusty and Clouded
I looked through the Glass
There was a Cobweb 

It was wrapped around a Light bulb
The Spider must have left 
It had already eaten 
In the web I saw dozens of  Dead Flies
They must have been attracted to the Light 
They were inches from the Light 
But they never reached it
 
I saw a Strange thing Today
I wonder How Many people Come to the Light 
They are Drawn to it 
And they get very Close to it 
But for some Reason or Another
They end up in a Spiders Web
