The streetlamps

A walker crosses town square. His footsteps crunch in the snow in the coming darkness. The first streetlamp is turning on. "Good evening, I give order to the world." The second streetlamp goes on. "I take away chaos." The third streetlamp says: "I chase away the darkness and the shadows." The forth streetlamp declares: "I keep off the thieves, robbers and night prowlers." The fifth streetlamp is dancing in its circle. The sixth streetlamp on the corner points out: "You are almost home." The light above the door says: "Clean your shoes before you enter."
