Power Outage

Power Outage
David J Walker

When Winters ice determines 
The day's destiny 
We learn our dependency 
On the technologies, we cannot 
Live without
What if 
	Scares us 
What if 
	Forces us 
To live a day without 
	An iPhone
Or internet 
What if 
	We find ourselves
In the dark 
And the winter clouds 
Shrouding the day 
	As if today might 
never end 

What if
	This is the way
You have to live
The rest of your lives
Lost in a power outage
