Requisition!

I want some application of order
Above and beyond what nature provides,
Like turbines taking advantage of tides
Or honeycombed hexagonal border
Insulated with paneled wood of pine.
Nature brings us only partway home
From wheresoever we all must roam
Shopping for the treats on which we dine.
But homes are never completely replete
Wherever fortunate consumers live,
And having little foison left to give
Their domicile hats hang in defeat...
And ofttimes too, atop a roadway berm,
Where order lacks an investment firm!
