The year is 2024 and the country is the Netherlands,
Summer has taken a very different appearance,
The sun is not shining,
Clouds occupy the sky,
Rain is frequent,
Community spirit is low,
The children are not playing on the streets,
Sunbathing is impossible,
We must take shelter indoors
as we did in the Winter months,
Will July be any different?
One can hope,
For now all that remains is
one
bleak
summer
