Lethal Summer.

In the scorching heat of summer’s rage

Lies a danger, a deadly page

The sun beats down with unrelenting might

And all around, the world is alight

The air is thick with a stifling heat

And every breath feels like defeat

The land is parched, the rivers run dry

As the merciless sun rules the sky

The leaves on trees, they wilt and fall

The earth cracks open, a desperate call

For water, for relief, for respite from pain

But the sun shows no mercy, it only brings strain

In this lethal summer, we must take heed

And protect ourselves, in every need

Stay indoors, stay in the shade

And drink plenty of water, don’t be afraid

For though the summer may be lethal and harsh

We can still find ways to escape its march

And when the cooler days of fall arrive

We’ll look back on this summer and survive

The world may seem barren, a desert land

But life still persists, in ways unplanned

The insects buzz, the birds still sing

And the flowers bloom, a fleeting thing

It’s in the hottest fires that we learn to grow

And in the bleakest deserts that life finds a flow

So let us embrace this lethal summer’s test

And emerge stronger, with hearts at rest

For though the sun may scorch and burn

We will rise up, and we will learn

To persevere, to endure, to survive

And thrive in the face of this lethal summer’s strife.
