poem cf mathews

"When All the Lights Go Out"

I just wrote this, half asleep, at midnight. I don’t know if it’s good or not. This is the stuff I think about all the time… 

When all the phones die

We speak to each other again 

When all the cars break down

We’ll learn to walk again 

When all the screens go black

We inherit the Earth again 

When all the planes are grounded

We’ll begin to fly again 

When all the lights go out

We’ll see the stars again 

When all the music stops

We’ll hear the angels sing
