A circular argument, rumoured

Should energy that’s gleaned,

Be chargeable to consumers?

When taxes fund all wind farms? See.

As the turbines are lease- Held,

letted to the wealthiest,

Realm eating, folk, that just,

Gain funds from ether, gloating.

Is it fair that these systems,

Bloat only those with lots?

While the mass, stay in Darkness,

Fearing nighttime, the bills drop?

When their friends make the

Contracts, profiteering in fact,

No inkling or recourse to discuss

The incandescence gift horses pact.

Should these cashiers takeout,

From generations withdrawal,

A basic proviso, to function,

At all, after sun fall. A blind call?

Shouldn’t light be delivered,

To everyone’s doorstep, without,

The proposal or need to be

Bankrupt? Blinkered equality’s.

It’s another inheritance injustice,

Cashing cheques from solstice,

Gut gusting blister bombast,

Electrically transferring trusts.

Yet, the blades keep rotating,

While oligarchs waiting, in lines,

Cashing bank drafts instead of,

A free utility, It’s a monstrosity!

This pompous pomposity,

The greedy feed frenziedly,

Upon the mass, power-less to,

Alter the statuses queues. Quo.

Choose food, heat or lighting,

Say the few, caviar eating,

Competing, to devour quarterly

Con-in, glutinous consumption.

The grid Irons flatter pusses,

Horde the massing in nightmares,

That nature gifted all humans,

Yet they pencil in ‘heir earnings. Fair?

Presumptive theft endeavours,

Wrought by partisan regulators,

Fed the plundering toward the,

Idle goodnight shaded nothings!

Disgusting! Obnoxious, fat-cat,

Industrialists bent on centralism

They cream fat off religiously,

Like a free house generation dispensary.

Enough of this atrocity, power,

Like water, should be freed,

For the goodness of everybody,

Not bloating greedy vampires. Please!
