I’m cold
Cold to the bone
Bone of contention
Contention with Texas
Texas is arrogant
Arrogant and greedy
Greedy and liars
Lying about causes
Causes of power failure
Failure of electric grid
Grid for utilities
Utilities heat homes
Homes need heat
Heat to keep warm
Warm and prevent freezing
Freezing pipes are bursting
Bursting and flooding houses
Houses become traps
Traps of death
Death for lack of heat
Heat and water
Water must be boiled
Boiled for 2 minutes
Minutes turn to hours
Hours to days
Days without power
Power is needed
Needed for millions
Millions of people
People are suffering
Suffering from cold
Cold outside

PS We never lost power, but have to boil water. We have been asked to conserve electricity, water, and gas. [Our thermostat is set to 68° – no dishwasher, no washing laundry.] Scary situation.
Thanks for reading.

Yes, very much so, and I even venture to say that if we swapped out Texas for Australia. for UK, etc, it would still powerfully ring true, sadly.

Are the Electric and other sources for heat, power, and water deregulated? That’s what got us in this mess.

The chickens and I have been remembering you in our evening prayers. The outrageous electric bills we are hearing about only adds insult to injury.
