Blackout

There is no net, there is no light,
When the sun goes down, everybody feels night,
Our affairs have stopped, and we are going to shout,
We can't call each other, it's a real Blackout.

No hot water, no hot lunch,
It's collapse everywhere and horrible crunch,
Only candles and torches can continue day,
Try to find in the darkness, the right own way.

Our thoughs are so deep, they look like depression,
And the shadows from candles make a bit of obsession,
Silent houses stay in the darkness all grey,
There is nothing to do, there are no words to say.

Every morning we wait for the daylight and pray,
And like children are happy to see sunny ray,
Catch the moment of truth when the light goes off,
Only me and the darkness, since then we are both.

Shops are suddenly closed, underground has locked,
It's a problem to go, everywhere is blocked
Life decided to take the longest timeout,
And we all realise - it's a real Blackout.
