Power Outage

Power Outage

the Sun was Hot

and i mean HOT !!!!

the heat was bleeding my energy

and there was nothing i could do about it

for i was not in control

was i ?

i looked for shade and shadows of it

hoping to find a brief respite

but to no avail

for the shade had conspired

with the wind

to offer no rest for the weary

and the air was stilled

and my energy spilled

out with a certain discordant angst

there were no fans

save the mechanical type

which required more movement

on my part

the Air Conditioning ?

you gotta be kidding me

it has been years since

we have heard of such

for electricity that was required

and that had long be relegated

to folk-lore

there was a power outage some 12 years ago

and that is how things remained

consciousness disconnectedness

who would have thought

we, man could have survived such

yes somehow we did

and today, the Sun was burning holes

through our Ozone

to our zone

again

and we, man

questioned

this purgatorious existence

with a consistence

we never knew before

wasn’t it us

who allowed that door

to remain open ?

perhaps we should have done the same

when we were burning all those Fossil Fuels
COOL !

Connect - Disconnect

No Ice, No Bergs

and the Oceans are Hot

Fools we were

yes collectively

we passively

cosigned

to the non benign behaviours

while looking for that Saviour

from the Sky

you know

that guy

who would save us from ourselves

i remember the very 1^st

Power Outage

when we mentally turned off

and allowed our indifference

to become our way

and those greed merchants . . .

well . . . they are all dead now

or just beyond our reason

for now we all must endure

this season of death

pass the pipe will ya

let us smoke on some more of the delusion

during this seemingly endless

power outage

THINK !
