They’ve changed the lamps in our street
There used to be an orange glow
Which lit up the path where you wanted to go
But now there are direct white beams
Of LED light, a good idea at first it may seem
Saving the planet, now that must be a good thing
But these create sinister patterns, rather frightening
As you walk along the paths alone at night
Who know whose lurking in the shadow that might
Jump out and cause you grievous harm
I don’t want to create unnecessary alarm
But please give us back our light
So we can safely see at night.

- Comment from author about the poem: Recently the council in, what I assume is an attempt to save money, has changed the street lights to LED. They just creat eerie shadows which feel quite uncomfortable when you are walking alone at night.

Here too! They probably change them back after someone's been attacked - when too late. doh!
Be careful of the shadows. Unsub may be in one of them, or even worse I may be in one of them.
