Our World Shuts Down

Does anyone really know how much we rely On the electrical power system to survive Lose it for ten minutes and our world shuts down When everyday services we're deprived It's the one service we need more than any other Panic sets in immediately when denied Some people want to end it all It'll be restored it's only a matter of time

Hi! Jack, I enjoyed your poem. We were without power for three days this winter, twice in one month. You don't know what you have until it's gone as we get so use to it being there. You certainly have a lot more respect for electric. Have a blessed day. Debra

That's so true, Jack. When my power goes off, I am in an immediate panic state. I just don't have enough charisma to run all my appliances! Ha!

It's like there's no further point in going on LOL A couple of minutes... not bad! An hour or more it's like I end up screaming though the house!!!
