Lights

Lights,

millions abandoned,

their wasted power left behind,

guiding the way of untraveled paths,

lighting the way down cold, empty streets.

Millions shining, unknown to anyone.

But just one flicker or surge-

one blackout from the storm,

and the whole world turns to chaos.

Complaints and worries flood the media,

angry that they have to survive a few

hours or minutes without the use of their

televisions... computers,

Making such a short amount of time feel like so much longer.

After a while, the power is restored, the appliances working again,

and the lights are turned back on.

Everything is back to normal.

But what should happen if we forever lost

our light?

---------------------------------

A misleading light,

the streets are empy and dark.

all you can see staring at you

is the one and only light.

you follow it to see where it leads

and find that you've ended up nowhere.

alone again.

in the darkness.
