Renhai Reflections 99: Public Consumption
Public Consumption
A Renhai by Vaughn Seward (Solo)
The power fails
during the weather report —
"storm com..."

This is good - so many different things happening and I really like that first verse!
Thank you all...
This renhai was based on some very real events that happened recently. We had a heavy snow dump one night and the next morning it put out the power in some places in our area (the snow weighted down some power lines). The middle verse was based on a massive slush build-up that we had to walk through. In the last verse, in our downtown area the parents of a young man (in his 20's) had put up 8.5" x 11" posters everywhere asking folks for help in finding their wayward lad.
Once the level of 'personal power' drops, man tends to get lost!:(
poignant.
