Summer's Sorrowful Song
A summer that was long waited for, was filled with
deaths, scorching heat, and a floundering economy,
that keeps spiraling into the deep,
People are fussier than they have ever been before,
because they feel that there isn't any help in store,
They feel they are being ignored by the current
Administration.
For the first time in years, citizens are realizing
their fears,
Amidst the beauty of flowering blooms and blue skies,
the frazzled and stressed cry,
jolted by the sudden reality of life being so unfamiliar,
that residents don't even recognize the times
they are living in.
A sorrowful summer came knocking,
A memory of the Depression from many years ago,
where emotions ranged from high to low,
with some wishing they could forego,
the tedious ritual of living lives that
have become so complex.
A summer that has exposed a gloomy
future for the young,
Yet we keep pressuring them to be strong
and to keep trudging along,
When no one has any clues or answers
for a prosperous future.......
