Can you ground the lamp to the inside of the metal lamp post using a screw.
Only black and white from the post. No ground. New lamp has a bare wire
ground.
Thanks

Yes, but it will be virtually worthless. Put the lamp on its
own circuit and
use the smallest rated gfci you can. A better solution would be to run
a new set of wires
with a ground.
Someone will provide more/better information.
