Endless, Lazy Summer's Day
Ducks line up behind Mommy
swimming all in a perfect row
Kids build sand castles
precariously balanced, just so
Red-and-white bobbers bob up and down
to the rhythm of fishermen's strings
Bronzed bodies gaze upwards, supine
sun-worshiping, midst other things...
Another endless, lazy summer's day
for a privileged nation, whose idle play
While in distant lands, far away
ghastly towers of war and famine sway...
