Numbers suffocate my one,
surrounded by the lights,
all that’s wrong; is kept so won
as they enjoy the fights,
let some needed Christmas cheer
mask up all the pain,
imbibing bought; and stolen beer
coin lifeblood down the drain,
Jesus is not at home,
just our suits of habit; that
ignore to use a comb
continue pride; just grab it,
spruces act as towers,
underneath greed stilts,
smile with all the powers
that build up all the guilts,
fleshling robots shine,
a woeful made replacement,
plans come true; to make the crime,
whilst hope is in the basement,
shorten mortal lives;
don’t question operation,
for; popular is where it lies,
bandwagon; every nation,
oh! St Nick, I cry to you,
my tears are so profuse,
please give me a better view
away from such abuse,
gift wrap a better kind,
worthy of esteem,
where both the world and man; not blind
live out belated dream.

- Comment from author about the poem: Thought I would kick off some "seasons greetings" poetry, of which, I wish you all a Merry Yuletide. This one is a bit cynical, but hopefully relatable, to the ones that do struggle through such a chosen stressful time of year, who are just hoping for some peace away from all the noise. The notepad and pen banner picture, acts as all the lists inside our heads, that hopefully will be realised by both one's willpower, and via the kind consideration of others. Merry Yuletide again, I hope that you enjoy this poem, there will be more positive ones to come, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.

A Christmas greeting or wake up call to realize what Christmas is all about. Lovely lines here and the message is powerful and most appropriate
Thanks for the read sorenbarrett and for your lovely words.
I am glad that you enthused with the message within the poem.
I hope you had/are having, a good festive period, and I hope that all is well.
This hits home to me in a big way, beautifully written poem reminding people it is not party and family cheers for everyone, Very enjoyable read
Thanks for the read and for favouriting this poem TobaniNataiella, it is very much appreciated.
As humanity continues to fester in its existence, division and dissatisfaction becomes wider and more apparent, and with such easily horrible repeated deeds that are repeated by us generation to generation, I often wonder about the validity of our species. We have so much opportunity to change for the better, but it would seem that the droves of addicts of "human error" will continue to gulp down such habitual bad decision making, to prolong such woeful dark jokes, that have got out of hand!
Sorry for the mini rant, but enough is enough.
Thanks for your lovely words, I hope that you had/are having a good festive period, I am glad that you enjoyed reading, and I hope that all is well.
You are very welcome
I do wish the people who can fix the world would get round to doing it Ben, that would be a wonderful present for us all.
Seasons greetings to you Ben and I hope the New Year will be full of joy.
Andy
Thanks for the read Andy, and yes, if only those who are supposed to be our saving graces actually did their job!
If they continue with such a shoddy system that can only cause grief and not hope, then these elected suits, along with the species as a whole will sadly be labelled a perfect advert for abortion! So sick of belonging to a species that so easily creates such pain, cannot wait for a change for the better!
Season greetings to you too, and yes, I need 2025 to actually be a Happy New Year, of which I wish the same to you.
Thanks again and I hope that all is well.
