A Summer of Doom and Gloom?


A Summer of Doom and Gloom?


Everywhere we look   we seem to see 
the possible threat  of World War War III.
but nobody seems to be worried sufficiently.

All are in their own mental cage
some perhaps more concerned about the minimum wage
than that we may be coming to the End Of Our Age.

As Mr. Putin threatens with a fearsome smile
his nuclear weapons are now  not only tactical 
but becoming increasingly practical.

 While European leaders seem disorganized and lost
and don't want to assume the cost
of finding  a way to unite
and somehow resist and fight. 


Nor is there much mirth
at the other end of the earth
where that clever and deft Mr. Xi
pushes at least as menacingly. 

And in the Middle,  last, but from from least, is The  East
where Religion and War make for a perpetual feast.

But enough of such pessimistic pleading!

Find a place that's cool --
perhaps near a pool --
and even if Mankind may not long survive
we  still have time to  dive

 into some absorbing Summer Reading.
