In 1854 the Light Brigade charged
in 2020 for lights switched on, power companies charged
In 1854 men rode chargers
in 2020 phones needed chargers
In 1854 cannons fired
in 2020 cannons printed
In 1854 the Light Brigade went down
in 2020 the power went down
In 1854 the hierarchy got it wrong,
but were not charged
In 2020 the hierarchy burn brown coal,
but we’re being charged.
