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.
