Blackout Poem by Adrienne Clark Strachn

Lights, Power, Blackout
The Energy of the world shuts down
people helpless
looking for the answer
what to do!

Lights, Power, Blackout
stillness,
suffocation,
the last breath
what should I do!

Ideas in my head
Paranoia
Anyone here
am I alone?
I could be dying
Is this my time
Funny, how we can't stand the quiet
in the end.

Energy Loss

I wonder, ones that need to know
I Love them
do they know!

Blackout!

Where is my family, my kids
was something left undone
repent Quickly all your faults
Did God hear me
The world has shut down
Quiet,
Everyone trying to find their way.
Body is in transmission
who's in control
you need to know God is
and you are not.

Just for a second he wants us to be still
Frantic
to rely on him

Blackout! a horrible feeling
Black out!
Lights out!

Only a storm,
God has always been in control
Who was I, to decide it was the End.
