on days when the wind
doesn't fulsomely
blow
nor the sun put in its
radiant solar
show
we'll be wondering where
our household power source did
go
for the new fangled renewables
weren't dependable of electrical
glow

left permanently in the
darkest of
dark  
without a coal or
a gas fired
spark
the politicians promised efficency
this being a ridiculous
lark 
 
our lights were extinguished
by a poor energy
policy
that swept all over the world's
entire territory
