Hello there New York,
Something has gone broke.
A shock it is to all,
Whom do we call?
One black-out,
And everyone
Is knocked out!

What a terrible thing!
Bewildering and unbecoming!
The all powerful US,
Bigger than the rest,
A Mighty Nation,
Has fallen short.

Many people stuck,
Daily lives stopped,
The unplanned takes over,
Destroying law and order.

Security, Safety, Reliability,
All left dangling in the air.
Where do we turn to?
Where?
Big Brother,
Are you there?
The masses await your care.
