Summertime?

Summertime? 2008.

 

Now is the winter of our discontent.

Although I must confess it seems to me,

 this is not how things are supposed to be.

It goes against established precedent.

The months of summer in the past were spent

outdoors in pleasant sunshine happily.

Though not this year it has rained constantly.

I’m left to wonder where the summer went

The global warming warnings have been changed

Now climate change seems to dominate the new

Expert’s opinions have been rearranged.

Each day appears to change their views.

Their arguments with each other ranged

from certainty to I don’t know what is true.

I agree with this. How do we know what truth is anymore. As you say daily our minds do change. It is unsettling to say the least. It has been a truly strange summer.

Very well written. Enjoyed this.
