On and off the switches flip

Automating our every need.

A button for this, a light for that

Easy, is the key.

On and off, the switches turn

Powering our lives.

Water running, hot or cold

Freely from a tap for some.

Could we not, once and awhile,

Turn a few of those switches off?

Or be a little more conscious

Of all the others living on our map?
