RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: TECHNOLOGY
Power Failure
Power outage across Portugal and Spain
Life goes on without electricity
The fuel that runs our electric brain
That powers our towns and cities
No one knows what caused the shock
But everyone feels the pain
Get out of your cars and take a walk
Your legs may feel the strain
We had to know this day would come
Our computers run the world
Without their power they soon go dumb
All their systems come unfurled
We are left to ponder the consequence
Of our dependency on machines
We are meant to question what we’ve spent
And to wonder what it means
We await the coming of the night
When all the cities will go dark
Will the people calmly seek the light
Or will madness light a spark?
