Fp&L

FP&L thirty one million for a Jet I don't see how it'll ever leave the ground for the weight of all the children crying in the darkness all around so I prayed, God have mercy on the pilots and I wondered how long God will have mercy on this system fueled by greed and what do we really need this old man will probably die while there are still children out there to feed therefore I sit down and write and pray to God for our mercy I am here to turn your power off I am truly sorry for your loss you know it's just my job yeah, it's just my job kill the power hit the switch and kill the power hit the switch and kill the power hit the switch and kill the power all you little children suffering in the dark come into the light and hit the switch and kill the power yeah, hit the switch and kill their power kill kill kill their power for ever more may your words serve love and your neighbors pray they cry out for the Lord who forever loves the humbled and the meek, broken, trodden down, and the poor

FP&L has no heart. It's almost impossible for those who live in poverty to live without power. They die hidden away under bridges or in the woods. I was visiting a gal dying of cancer when the power company came to shut off her energy. Luckily, he gave her one more day and I was able to help her. God knows, she was suffering enough already. But how can we held "all you little children suffering in the dark." Very sad and moving. Love, Carolyn
