Christmas

Someone asked me to write this =D

who would have ever wondered that this time of the month,
at the end of each year, we would sacrifice our day,
to worship a god, without knowing it
i look at you with disgust when i think of you,
the devil looks over his shoulder, peeking through the branches of the tree,
luring my thoughts away from Him,
every time this year, a time to rejoice over the tears of yesteryear,
to worship a god, without knowing it...

Time moves on, we grow up to see
what we have done, the hurt we left behind,
I am not God, I am no god,
we take on the day we needed to give,
eating until we cannot carry on, still
still you pounder on in this ridicules bunch of lies
of yours, spitted out of the mouth of the heathens,
but God, hear me, hear these solemn cries from the world,
we will not stand for this crime...

Author's Note

the uncapped letters in the first paragraph should be like that =]

A powerful poem with a strong valid message, especially at this time of year, when commercialism has gathered enough momentun to batter everyone into submission. It is always good to remember that it is a religious festival for people with deeply held belief, which should never be ignored. Questioned perhaps, but not negated. A great poem. Dark, but good

A strange look at Christmas...I like that.

"I am not God, I am no god,
we take on the day we needed to give,
eating until we cannot carry on, still
still you pounder on in this ridicules bunch of lies.."

Strong words to be spoken on a "cheery" topic such as this. The darkness speaks to me and the doubtfulness is there. Thank you for this.

I sense a pessimistic tone to this "Chistmas" theme... ofcouse, everyone has there own views. This piece did captivate me... I read it again, to fully grasp each line. So, I believe you have achieved your mission in this write... Thought provoking!
