Gift Wrap a Better Kind (St. Nick, I Cry To You)

AuburnScribbler

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.
