So This Is Christmas?

Most of the luxuries, and many of the so called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind. - Thoreau

now i lay me down to sleep

i pray the lord my amazon driver to beep

his credit card be with me through the night

tell him not to take a left when he ought go right

and if i die before i wake

i pray the lord my package to take

in besos' name amen

Author's Note

“America is said to be the arena on which the battle of freedom is to be fought; but surely it cannot be freedom in a merely political sense that is meant. Even if we grant that the American has freed himself from a political tyrant, he is still the slave of an economical and moral tyrant. Now that the republic — the res-publica — has been settled, it is time to look after the res-privata, — the private state, — to see, as the Roman senate charged its consuls, "ne quidres-PRIVATA detrimenti caperet," that the private state receive no detriment.”
