I wish to be earthen lamp

The mud,
We can make,
Balls for catapult,
To kill birds,
To break heads
To play with,

The mud,
We can make,
Pitchers,
To store water,
To drink,

The mud,
We can make,
Earthen lamps,
To light,
In a dark room,

The mud,
We can make many things,
For use,

The mud,
We are the mud,
We can be molded,
Above all,

I wish to be molded,
To an earthen lamp,
In the world of darkness
