Red Snow

Red Snow

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

The darker side of the holiday season

"

 

 

 

Tragic night

Unholy night

As he lies face down

In the snow.

 

Stab not once

but twice

for the almighty dollar.

 

Losing his life

For the game

Where money is the prize.

 

It’s not all

Just a holly jolly season

For it has a darker side

For those trying

To keep up

With the riches of life.

 

        Now the red snow

Becomes his Santa coat

And the family

Cries tears of coal

For this will be

A very black Christmas

Cause some dreary soul

Forgot the true meaning

Mistaking Santa for Satan.

"Losing his life

For the game

Where money is the prize."

Ah filled with sorrow and sadness, however a ton of emotion in the words.

"Mistaking Santa for Satan."

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
