Electricity

Civilization hangs perilously On slender threads of electricity Providing needs and luxuries But should it cease With no means for regeneration Cities would plunge into darkness Engines have no spark to run Food not be transported. Trains and buses not run Farmers plough and sow With no more crops Feeding starving masses Evil would lurk in shadows Preying upon the helpless Police unable to secure the streets Mayhem, chaos and madness reign. Without electric power Mankind returns to Stone Age Where brute strength is authority Darkness feared, food hunted With spear, bow and arrows Strong controlling the weak People dressed in animal skins Fighting over tribal land and slaves.
