Eddy and Nicola
Nicola Tesla
fashioned
an elixir for free electricity for the masses.
Eddie Grant
sang
about the hardships
of the poor , the oppressed ,the desperate.
Decades separated the two of them
but they strolled down electric avenue
hearts beating in unison.
The elixir quickly vanished
Nicola passed away in a flophouse- penniless
his vision unrealized
Eddy still wails about toxic social problems
largely unresolved.
