It would only take
About 2 billion dollars
To harden the grid
Of our country

And yet our government
Doesn't seem to care

With an EMP attack
We will be taken back
To the 1800's

I inhabit one place
At one time

But my, oh my
Do I enjoy different
Times
And places

Different names and faces

I imagine a difficult time
May come for this country

What do I have to fear
Why should I be afraid?

No loving female friend

Just my faith
I suppose

It is the loneliness
Of the American Experience

The many hours alone

Sometimes I wish
I could have lived
In a community in Nepal

Where I could have lived
With extended family
All working together

Extended family
In the same community
Where I would see
My friends frequently

Certainly not the case here
I don't have money
To go to bars
To socialize

At least I can have
Friendly conversations
On the internet

To be contiued...
