.
When the power of electric energy
Is lost or compromised by a storm,
Or an accident or any reason
We find ourselves set back
Into the existence of earlier generations
They lived by kerosene lamps
And firewood or coal furnaces
Were content with the simpler
Things and ways of life
Now we panic, especially when
A hurricane demolishes everything
We have or even knew of
It is start over time and how
Do we do that when we have
Nothing to work with and everyone
Is equal in this misery?
This is real and requires thinking,
Patience and calm as well as prayer
Disaster relief will arrive
We begin by making safe as
Many as we can, hoping
That loved ones, neighbors and friends
Survived a vicious act of nature
Eventually and soon, the United States
Comes to the rescue and if the
Money isn’t squandered, a new place of
Peace is built and we begin to believe once more
That everything is possible
We have renewed hope;
Reassess our values and goals,
Knowing we will be okay in
This opportunity called life
