WATER

HEAT

TIME

LIGHT

OXYGEN

We can't survive

Without these five

But cannot stay

Without decay


Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem should be perfectly centered in the middle of the page, to bring out the shape of the lamp. Oh well...It's incredibly ironic that 5 essentials for life are also the 5 most important factors for decay.  Take anything from a sack of garbage to the great pyramids and mix gently with water, oxygen, heat, light, and a tincture of time and you have a perfect recipe for decay!
God has a sense of irony.
