the burning sun


The burning sun
The light burning the naked skin
Walking out of the car
The smiling sun hits the brake

The penetrating rays
It heats up the open skin
It doesn't let it go
Until walking to a shade

Even the dogs will smell
The overbearing heat
It isn't a time to go out
Sometimes errands need

The construction workers
They have used to the heat
Pounding away in the open
Earning a living isn't easy

The relief is walking to a mall
The cooling towers air conditioned units
It really cools a person down
Spend a few hours browsing or walking around

But the cats will sleep
They don't have to worry about food
It's the time to snooze
Let the sun play its game

The heat in our lives
It will not go away as yet
The weak leaders must go
They bring broken bridges
