April

A hot summer's day

In mid-April

Tempers fuelled

By the heat in the air.

Children chasing the sun.

Young men chasing their dreams

Men chasing the young men,

Trying to find the brightness of the sun.

Shining in their eyes

They can't find it anymore.

Women alike.

Health and cosmetics booming

Umbrellas covering

Homes valued.

Air conditioner bills realized

Cold water baths soothing

An ice-cream becomes the dream

Sleeping in an artificial world

Children still chasing the sun.
