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

And of course that kind hearted christian god always provides and never does any harm. Shame about the deaths he could prevent.... or maybe your god isn't that powerfui or worse... a myth... heavens forbid LOL. But I'm sure he's there for the gullible who accept excuses for his non intervention in disasters.
Merry Christmas (a pagan event hi-jacked and renamed by christians)
Whatever god gets someone thru a dark period in their life is the god of choice christian or otherwise. Christmas besides being a religious holiday is also a celebration of good will to men, helping those less fortunate and ugly sweater parties. You have strong opinions, shows character. Thank you for your comment.
feel free to put your faith in what you choose to believe-in,
but if you're going to share with the world
you're gonna come across some resistance
from those who oppose your choices, even
if you haven't done a single thing to them,
and no one forces them to comment on your write,
it's engrained - into their warped hate
you exist, so they must hate..
(don't take it too personal, sadly
it's just modernity's, cost
for expressing Any theological beliefs, unless its science
science is a religion that's tolerated in modernity...
thanks for sharing)
