Untitled - Christmas time...

by A.N.M. - Pisces

Christmas time does many things...
Some, thoughts of joy and jingle-rings
Inflate their minds with warmth and hope
For "magical-Christmas-party-dope"...
"The VERY BEST lights in all the town!"
And warm rum punch...egg-nog all round!
Presents to capacity...
MORE than fits beneath the tree!

And then there's those who simply wish
A decent meal on cardboard dish...
The hope that one day they might find
What "meaning" to this Christmas grind
The time of "love" and "hope" and such
The "giving" to who don't have much
But seems that's never quite the case...
That "love" and "giving"...little trace.

So this year, I don't care that much
Bout Christmas trees and lights and such
Bout making sure the presents abound
Cause lately I have found
So many people live their lives
Perpetuating selfish lies
Not "looking" into peoples eyes
Not "hearing" others' cries...

Just WANTING EVERYTHING to have!
Like money, cars and "magical salve!"
The BEST of this, the BEST of that...
They wish upon their epitaph
That they lived "well" and they lived "rich"
Their lives went on with out a "glitch!"
And yet another "Christmas-Time"
Was "magical" and so sublime!!!

They do this each and every year...
Want NOT to shed a tear
For..."those others"... 
Those they fear.
