Hole in the Stocking

AuburnScribbler

For the sleaze that drools,

at the doll that strips,

such a thing above,

is true script,

but when it comes to hold,

the hand in peace,

such hosiery,

should not release,

 

for at Christmas,

or at any time,

to rip our fabric,

is true crime,

as sheep who choose,

to mangle words,

un-weave the warmth,

make up the curbs,

 

a broken moral,

is a hole in the stocking,

see all the lies,

that seem to be flocking,

evolution halts,

we are the killers,

composing the hits,

the true floor fillers,

 

thus, when you feel inside,

your Yuletide sock,

you may realise that,

we’re out of stock,

but in the corner,

that is still sewn,

you may find,

what needs to be shown,

 

then when displayed,

shamed is the flesh,

that has hid too long,

behind the mesh,

both client and whore,

retune their choice,

to murder the norm,

with angelic voice,

 

is the thought that lurks,

within the sheer,

but we’ll continue to err,

throughout the year,

to repeat our roles,

of pauper and prince,

as it’s deeds that count,

when we leave footprints.

  • Comment from author about the poem: A somewhat flimsy "Noel Note", but a note, nonetheless. If I am to be very frank, a ripped stocking, or a hole in the stocking, can be quite an appealing look indeed, especially when adorned with black leather! Anyway, I digress. It also acts a symbol: the purest of morals, being torn apart; by the damaging core operation of mankind, thus, by such unravelling, there is little warmth that remains. Additionally, and more pertinently, when it comes to a child and their Christmas stocking, and when they find that there are no presents in it, because of such a gaping hole, made by the sordid decisions of humanity, it makes for quite the prolonged crying session. Hence, I give you this poem, written yet again, with a tone that has a dim outlook on our species, because, with what's happening at the moment both here and abroad, there is quite a lot of reason to have such thoughts. The accompanying banner picture, is what I envisage to be the true "fishnet stocking" of mankind. Let the infuriating putrid caged division continue eh!? I hope that you enjoy the poem at least, stay warm, stay dry, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.
