On A Day That Is Warm

The warm air full of the buzzing of flies and of bees On a day that is warm close to thirty degrees Without any coolness in the freshening breeze The cattle shelter from the sun in the shade of the trees On the radio news we hear every day Of destroyed homes from bush fires from here not far away Many such fires lit by pyromaniacs people with darkness of mind It is sad to think of the destructive callousness of some of our own kind Things are very quiet in the park by the bay In the children's playground no children at play Their mums do not bring them to play in the sun Such warm weather for them cannot be too much fun White butterflies dancing in the afternoon breeze On a day that is warm close to thirty degrees.
