Electricity

I was driving myself crazy,
Thinking about how much energy I was using
Day in – Day out
Running frantically between light switches,
Plug-ins, televisions and the electronics appliances
Running our lives.

My family says I preach,
My bills say pay more money
My conscience says there is more than this.

I am just trying to help
To feel significant in this mass
Of energy that is my home.
Never does it seem good enough
No matter how hard I try to keep up
The ozone keeps melting
The forests keep disappearing
And the pollution steals my breath.

Some say there is hope
Some say it is the end of the world…
I say,
Turn off the lights.
