The lights went out.
No one ever told us why;
no official explanation on the television.
Radios became a hollow shell of hope
Devastating our mental barricades.
People broke down.
Moral codes became subjective
as our world was held captive.
I looked to the sky,
and I didn't see our stars.
Obviously life was different.
Cement skeletons with glass for skin
was a new skyline, as we looked on
in our state of the art slums.
The past holds no relevance,
the future holds no realism.
Yesterday is a dream,
while tomorrow is a nightmare.
