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.
