Christmas

Christmas for us is full of cheer

As we greet our near and dear

Our gated society celebrates with flair

Every year – there’s definitely a fair..

So the kids get to play and have some fun

While parents relax and bask in the sun…

But what about the deprived

Outside our door

For whom no blessings

From anywhere do pour –

Will they just sit

and continue to mope?

The lonely and the homeless –

How will they cope?

Does our conscience even give a twinge

As we enjoy, and embark on a binge…??
