Notes About The Poem

Teslacuted

Zap wowie electricity is so safe 
And dangerous simultaneously 
One can generate electrons and spark ‘em up 
Horde them, sell them, pay endless utility bills for them 
Make the wealthy more powerful or ... 
One can just gather them up, them electrons 
Share ‘em and its free power for all ... 
For everyone to enjoy - 
Share the wealth, save the humans and Earth 
Solve the riddle and expose 
The biggest hoax of the Century, even puzzling us geniuses 
Sending Mankind backwards into caves 
The biggest failure of the industrial age 
Like possibly a genocidal potential rage 
That evil has cloaked as “progress” 
Meanwhile, we keep on driving our caves on wheels 
That pollute our air and take us nowhere important 
Perhaps, to drive pass the local nuclear power plant 
That too is not clean energy and doesn’t resemble a plant 
And are ticking time bombs just waiting to be a disaster 
Distractions of false hope with windmills, solar panels and long-life batteries 
All end up in dumps with a toxic price tag not so good for us 
No, the reality is ... 
Electricity is everywhere, all around us 
Generated for millennia by Mother Earth herself 
Spinning around and around the Sun. 

If you’re coming to your senses ... 
Shocking the monkey on your back with both eyes wide open 
Your hair should be standing upward on end 
By now from this political abuse 
Or you just plainly start feeling gypped 
Then you’ve been teslacuted! 

                 Like me.

appreciate your thoughts on the positives and negatives (sorry for the pun) of electricity. The ending was spot on.
