The Scorcher

Screaming drops
That of hot sweat
Beading on your neck
Blasting your body
With a cooling system
Was it enough
Or did you suffer
From near heat stroke
Did you hurt
From the flow
Cascading from top to bottom
Of your scorched body
Maybe more would be best
To help cooling the system
May the sweat
Defeat the heat
Of a dire burning day
