Very nice! I love the stretch in the rhyme from now to hows. Sorry, I majored in English lit for a year or two in college so I focus on that kind of stuff in addition to the actual words... This message is so timely. It feels like the world is just spinning out of control sometimes and I think a lot of people would be happy if we could just hit that reset button. I always think back to Star Trek: First Contact where Picard is telling the lady that when we realized we weren't alone in the universe it opened a new era of exploration and the focus on wealth was abandoned. Of course they had to go through a pretty significant world war to get there, but I just wish we could be at that point. I would much rather pursue knowledge vs. wealth if the world allowed it. Sorry, this got long winded.

Thanks @bozz! I kind of threw this one together quickly, I probably should have spent more time on the rhyming. Star Trek has held up brilliantly through the decades. People are going to have to decide what their rock bottom is. The looming financial collapse might just be it. This pandemic has definitely taught me that most people don’t realize the true reality of a situation unless they experience it directly. Hope you’re well and have gotten some relief from the heat.
Yes actually! My wife and I were finally enjoying a nice evening on the deck yesterday. Until our dog rolled in something, then we had to bathe her! We ended up having a very late dinner because we were having such a nice time enjoying the cooler weather.
I'm glad to hear it's cooling down! Ugh, our beagle does that too. We had a few days' respite from the heat but we're right back into the frying pan now.
