Merry Christmas...





They say this is the time around which Jesus was born
They say we should celebrate this time with illustrious vacations and elaborate gifts for loved ones
They say our world should be decorated with glittery ornaments

Put on a show of goodwill
While our souls lay still
In a pool of stagnant ills

But it’s a season of festivities
So let us celebrate humanity,

A humanity that blinds its eye
When faced with presidential sleaze
Bushes hide with ease
While oil hunger Blairs
Within the ears of the weak
He end of which they speak
Shall always be near

What of this is reminiscent of the day a great revolutionary was born?

Merry Christmas none the less
May all your wishes come to fruition
That’s what they say should be said...
Whoever they are.
