This Summer
This summer flowers are still glorious
Birds continue to sing gleefully
But I won’t sing along
The heat is not to be blamed
It’s the air stifled by fear
The sun scorches land as usual
It is not of its concern
What happens on Earth
More locusts swarm across continents
Least of their care is
The human disaster
Time still inches forward
It won’t speed up
To bring our badly needed solution
Greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise
Heat waves again may break the record
Different types of extreme weather lines up
Horrify us more than ever
Fights in the world still get heated
Shouts spew spite and spit viruses
The death toll continues to rise
We become insensitive to the losses
As they turn into numbers
Nature does not negotiate
Our next summer will be better
Only if we come together
To fend off these pandemic threats
