Cicadas rattle, shake, and buzz
The blazing sun does what it does
Sweltery air presses you wet
Summer's in these parts, not so nett
Where is the rain, the big cool-down?
Storms fume, tornados bring a frown
Golf ball sized hail pelts, high winds mock
On the run, farmer John's livestock
Toppled trees, upended root balls
Lock-down at America's malls
Flash floods rushing into highways
Too much rage with heartbreak some days
In the cities, violent protests
Prolls and savages in wardress,
brawling with ICE Agents and cops
Across the states, drought razes crops
Looters ransack through honest shops
At the grocers, the price never drops
Inflation remains way off the charts
To the liars, the truth just smarts
Pyromaniac's torching markets
Daytime thieves stroll calm out of outlets
Lightening strikes from a clear blue sky
Shark attacks at an all time high
Fireflies blinking in the night
The exit opened during flight
Duct taped offender wrapped to go
Marshals wait at the gate, dumb foe
Politician's, ego-trippers
Tariff conflict, double-dippers
4,000 acres are aflame
At Wharton State Forest terrain
New Jersey's Pine Barrens, burning
Two counties below, thick smoke churning
Heat waves are searing and baking
For deliverance, we are aching
