No more Perfect Summer Days

No more Perfect Summer Days

I wish that we could have
A perfect summer day,
A bit warm but not hot
Not too humid.

Everyone filled with peace,
Love and health.
Plenty of personal freedom,
As we enjoy a picnic lunch
Watching fireworks at night.

Then I realize
That the world
No longer allows us
To have perfect summer days.

Hot as hell weather
Everywhere around the world
Monster summer storms.

Running out of water,
Running out of food,
COVID is still around.

Everyone scared.
Deranged gunmen
everywhere guns blazing.

New leaders emerge
Promising to protect us.
And we lose our freedoms.
One by one
As fascism takes over.

The climate change
And all the other dystopian future
Nightmares become reality,
No more perfect summer days.
