POWERLESS

There ain’t no reason for it
With our technology
Especially, since it all runs
Off of electricity.

They said, it couldn’t happen
This shows how much, they know
Put millions without power
When a few fuses, blow.

Now comes the finger pointing
Where they all pass the blame
With politics as usual
They’ll play their silly game.

This time due to negligence
And a warning for the day
That it would be much different
If the terrorist had his way.

Another wake-up call
As if we needed, more
And if we fight it like this
We’re going to lose the war.

Seems, the powers that be
Just don’t seem to get it
And someday will be too late  
If, they don’t, get with it.
