'Twas a Hot and Murky Afternoon …

It was murky weather yesterday, hot and clammy, most unusual
And my eyes burned…..
…. as I waited in the traffic ….
Worse than London at rush hour.
A ten minute drive now takes thirty, forty five or even fifty minutes of endless queuing, honking and a new found ability "to squeeze" behind cars, trucks, buses and 4x4s in lanes miraculously there.
All spewing out lethal fumes into our once sweet smelling desert air,
While the traffic police sit and watch and occasionally whistle at a taxi driver going about his daily chore of driving through the madness.
Climate change…. or maybe globalization - I say with a wry smile
As Bush and Co deny, deny, deny and reap the profits,
And I have to deal with the rage.
