It Isn't Christmas Time

It is Christmas-time and I see the lights I also watch the arguments and I hear the fights, Again I look and I pray for that one bright star While others are looking at the lights on a police car. A baby in a manger the wisemen went to meet Now the wisemen tell us to ignore the meager upon the street, Mocking and laughing at the needy and the poor It just doesn't feel like Christmas Time, anymore. It is Christmas Time for peace and love But, someone is in a hurry, so they give a kick or a shove, Once before there was Christmas songs from a choir Now everyone is looking for either a seller or a buyer. Everybody wants to be the first one in the line But, not to see the Lord, but to buy toys or clothes or wine, Moneylenders and thieves are now waiting at the store It just doesn't feel like Christmas Time, anymore. It is Christmas Time so we decorate the tree With candy canes and tinsel, but we forget about the baby, Underneath the tree there has been placed, presents and gifts But, also there is packages of worries, and bills, and ifs. We feast and we drink and we watch sports on this holiday Shouldn't we all reflect, and also worship and pray? I remember being taught to help others, but that was once before It just doesn't feel like Christmas Time, anymore. Randy L. McClave
