Tom Rosenthal Lights are on but Nobody's Home Official Lamps brighten a house, but when it comes to no one, they stand unseen. Dwellings lacking human presence remain unlit. Not a soul to acknowledge the illumination, absence of people's residence to cheer up. Abandoned properties stay desolate of light, leaving the lamps with no purpose. Beam seeks humans, but in not a soul's property, there's nobody to illuminate.
