#loadshedding
There once was light where I stand; Now I'm unable to even see my hand. A time of darkness has dawned upon us; Just makes me want to scream and cuss. Loadshedding is what they call it; Unable to see I sometimes trip. It happens at times when we are hard at work; Or at home while making dessert. It's something that's beyond control; Or at least that's what we are told. The energy grids struggle to take on the pressure; Thus reducing our times of leisure. It's something that drives us insane; Yet there is nobody we can blame. How long long will this dampen our spirit? Even they don't know it. What are we to do in this dire straights? Well nothing, just sit and wait.

BLACKOUT
The darkness has a way of enveloping you like nothing else can. It's not like light: Darkness Is not directed or sprayed on objects The absence of light: It is all consuming, on anything light rejects. Darkness. It's something else Something intangible Like the dreams you dream: Barely imaginable. It's strange and scary: Untouchable for us Children are afraid of it It even makes grown men cuss. People aren't afraid of darkness, It's been said: Fear of the unknown, Or so I read. Why do we fear the unknown? What evils can it contain, What evils still remain? That aren't in our lives already, **** corruption, ****** Bulletins are full and the news beats steady. We should relish the unknown, Rise to the challenge We must grab the opportunity With both hands Cause it might be our last strands Of hope.

Darkness
Its so irritating, Feels like a bug on my throat but I just can't cough it out, Of course it gives room for meditating, But it still hurts like the burn of steam from a spout, All sorts of negative aspects to it, But on the good side of it, The house gets dark, Due to this I overcome fearing the dark :D , Guess its true that everything no matter how bad it seems,has a good side to it.

Loadshedding
1. Cluster of night light Season of dark renaissance Cloudy autumn spree 2. Weeping Memories Attuned Melancholic Scream Dead and lost Spring 3. Flutters of Dust Speck Round around Nothingness Milky Way Express
