Outside the heat rises
So much it hypnotizes
People into unwanted slumber
They fall over like fresh cut lumber
Their heart rate slows
Their temperature grows
Their minds implode
In this episode
Of unbearable conditions
In this rendition
I try to be brave
I try to save
A humble knave
In this heat wave
I fail as I try
And I too, die
