Careful now, slowing to a drip in the stream

They tried to turn the power on in other ways

Solar, at first, taking them out to sun with an immediate depletion

Upon return

And then wind, repurposing the gusts that would break bones

But the wear was too great

So a dam, a dam was made

To harness the power of pressure

Or at least, a dam was made

By the old parts of the sun and the wind panels

Recycle, am I right?

But the dam is no longer needed

The pressure building but no longer needing to keep the lights on

Nobody is home who cares to see

To be fair, nobody is home who remembers how to see

Oh the rush after the dam breaks

Not a slow release

A catch up as that water was meant to travel somewhere

Oh the rush after the dam breaks

Surging everything in it’s path

Those caring enough washed down stream

Only the meek remaining

Still refusing to speak

Or make moves to drink

Gosh, the dam breaks

And all of life comes free

Filling the banks with nourishment

Careful now, slowing to a drip in the stream
