Church bells ringing
choruses singing
bells and music playing
cheerfully everywhere
bright lights shining
along busy streets of
stores brimming with
holiday trimmings
shoppers gaily dressed
party goers attending
lavash holiday parties
attired in their best
storefronts and houses
decorated brightly
happy family dinners
full of holiday treats
with presents under
brightly shinning trees
while
poverty stricken families
going without a tree
or presents underneath
depending on a handout
for their Christmas repast
poorly dressed homeless
men, women and children
hands out asking for cash
what does Christmas
mean to thee who has
so much to share when
only prayers to God
from those in despair
and mankind’s
un-willingness
to care
