Sunglasses would do.

Yet the sun is bright

We pay no bills for sunlight.

For our patch of sky overhead

We pay no sky tax

For our attempt at control of population

Makes room for this thankful tax exemption.

 

Before long the high rises will

Eclipse the sky from view

We’ll be riding to some scrubby park

Book tickets to greet the stretch of blue.

 

Then the reckless climate change;

Seasons break the existing frontiers

They are now flouting the rules of the game.

 

However, solar energy has a long way to go

With the alternative sources in tow.
