Spark of Life (poem)

electricity
blood of the city
keeps it alive
keeps it shining bright
moves things around
moves people around

until it stops
then all is still
all is silent
amid the the uproar
the chaos of stillness

stagnancy is death
all things grind to a halt
the hearth must beat
keep oxygen moving
or there is no life

must keep moving
must keep living
shining
dancing
never still
forever flowing

Inspired by a recent power failure. Not my best work, but this is what I got.
