Hark!

Each year the bells ring clear the joy

of a year when emotions fill the air.

Joy  chokes us with its arms of love

and happiness blinds us one again.

 

Merry!

We sing the songs

while we stream the halls

and voice the carols.

we cheer,

the feeling intoxicating.

 

we forget

that time still ticks slowly

and death walks behind

just laughing at the mere mortals

in their holiday disguise......

 

Deck the halls!!!

We are blind

as we spend time

conversating with the ones who

in later days will turn their backs

ignore and pass

the joy forgotton.

 

we laugh, scream and cheer,

and not realize that

perhaps that poor creature we sit before

probably had plans for family

as we do now.

 

We do not see

the hunger and alone pass our windows

and drool,

wishing that that could be them

around the family's helm

while inside many wish to leave swifty

 

yeah

we sing our carols a

loud and bring our red and green surprise.

but have we forgotton

in the midst of our cheer

what this hoiday is really about?

 

is it about the gifts

the turkey

or the chestnuts roasting on an open fire?

is the funny fact that a man in red

will visit your house that eve?

 

 

but

whether it be christmas

hannukah, or what the...

remember the meaning of Christmas

is love and joy TO ALL
