Power Out, Gun Out Poem by Macie Lewis
Power Out, Gun Out
I learned fear last night
Power had gone out
I had a flashlight
Small and teal
I was not afraid
Then I heard the first bang
Echoing in the night
It was not an occasion
For any kind of firework
I heard a gunshot
Power outage means
No security system - bang
No phone - bang
No internet - bang
Ideal time for crime
I was not afraid
Until I heard the bang
of a gun shot in the dark

The first bang Echoing in the night you have heard and fear has come near mind. Still you were not afraid. An amazing poem is shared.10
