Lights Out In My Neighborhood

Lights Out in my neighborhood
Total darkness
That's not good
Luckily candles
I have plenty
Luckily flashlights
I have many.

I've no computer
And no tv
Sitting in the dark
It's just me
and of course
my sweet birdie.

Listen to the neighbors
cry in dismay
Some were making dinner
Others had games to play
Some are missing favorite shows
For me it's just the way it goes.

Watching flames flicker
Listening to the night sounds
Realizing once again
How the world astounds.

Forced to sit still
Forced to stay silent
All in a way
That is quite non violent.

Lights out in my neighborhood
Not spending my night as I should
Lights out in my neighborhood
Maybe it was something good.
