Power

Power
Few hand flexes
At the wrist joint
That generates electricity
By pumping action of the hand muscles
From mechanical power
To light a Wrist Torch
Is a modern manifestation
Of conservation in action

Yet the efficiency
Of the conversion of
Biological energy
To electrical energy
Is only forty percent
And is considered to be
The most efficient
And produces least amount
Of Carbon dioxide

But
The energy efficiency
Of the Coal Power
Is only ten percent or so
Considering the inherent wastage
Encountered
In developing
The infrastructure
And the corruption envisaged
That is rampant in
Energy Economics

Yet
The production of Carbon Dioxide
And all the noxious gases
Are staggeringly high
And the heaps of
Rubbish ash left behind
Is monumental

Power corrupts
Energy consumes
As soon as
It is produced
Absolute Energy
Of hundred percent sufficiency
Set in motion
A chain reaction
So devastating in magnitude
It would take billions
Of years for recovery
That is the Vision
The consumerist society lacks
And fail to grasp
In this moment of selfish needs

This is why I say
That the scientists don't have
Philosophy
And Philosophers don't have
Neither Mind Power
Nor Muscle Power
In this contemporary world
Of macroeconomics
To say that
Energy sufficiency of 65%
Is the most that
This tiny island can tolerate
Without
Upsetting the balance of nature
AND THE REST 35%
Should be left in wilderness
