Christmas Today!

Christmas today Is celebrated in different ways For lucky ones are Christmas presents Waiting to be unwrapped under the Xmas tree Others are still waiting for theirs to be sent Strapping on to hope That their presents will be free Christmas today Signifies cards, trees, and shopping malls Let’s not forget the homeless people Who have no one and are sobbing Drink, Drink Though not to a drunken stupor Feast and feast Before anorexia hits you to the core Smile and smile, be merry yet weary But please don’t forget the lonely Who have no one and are sobbing While you feast in prosperity To charity you must give, remember Especially in the month of December Christmas today Is a festive holiday Appreciate it in all thy ways For the man who died and gave birth to life Is the reason why Christmas today has so far survived!
