The Heat Rolls In

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL WARMING

 

The Heat Rolls In

 

Today’s the day the heat rolls in

And stays into the night

As perspiration coats our skin

The sky is burning bright

 

We count the swollen hours

Until the sun goes down

People age like wilting flowers

We dry and turn to brown

 

And this is still the end of May

A glimpse of what’s to come

Soon summer heat will come to stay

A pounding like a drum

 

Summer nights are hard and long

Relief cannot be found

Our kids will grow up tough and strong

The toughest kids around

 

The elders will endure it all

Just like we have before

Those who rise can never fall

We'll come right back for more
