Such sophisticated systems around
Like a house of cards fell down
In the face of a natural disaster unanticipated
The fragility of our systems we had underestimated..
All of our man-made systems are so designed
That they are inextricably intertwined
Working in such a well-orchestrated way
That we take them for granted every day
But the hurricane has made us painfully aware
That one disaster is enough to impair
Life as we know it, life as we expect to lead
Electricity and telecommunication we ubiquitously need..
*
The limits of our vulnerability have been tested again
In the aftermath of the devastating hurricane
As more natural disasters in the near future we witness
We would need to rethink and redesign each process
In a decentralized manner, with multiple safety nets in mind
As climate change continues to challenge the ingenuity of humankind
Passion...unbridled
