The cry of a scorched soul!

The firmament is scalded by the fierce fire of the Sun,
Relief and respite from this tormenter there is none.

Flaming fumes from the bowels of the earth engulf all things living,
Proclaiming that of a scorching summer this is just the beginning.

The sweltering season seems to sap away the soul of every life-giving tree,
Abnormal rises in temperature become part of tomorrow’s history.

Sweat beads trickle down temples to clog all pores of wasted bodies
The harsh heat wave almost gives a vicarious vision of Hades.

Blasts of hot air hit home the point that global warming is all man’s doing,

Maybe tis nature’s own ruthless way of shaking us out of slumber to get going.
