Christmas Cheer by ~Fwelshie-Laurine:iconFwelshie-Laurine:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Sociopolitical > Open


A Star rises in the East blinded by
Earthly streets Flooded with flashing
Lights, artificial trees and artifical cheer.
People with places to be and things
To buy, run heedlessly throught the
Thickening Rain. Each carrying, like
Pack-Mules, burdensome bags,
Overflowing with other peoples gaudy
Ideas of Hopes and Dreams.
No-one dares to See the crying Child
In the alley, abandoned.
Swaddled in discarded wrapping paper
And bright bows.

I wasnt sure about putting this up, first its very clichè thing to write and second its too early for a christmas poem. but i had three little kids come to the door today and sing carols for me. i paid them and was filled with christmas cheer for about half an hour before i realised they are only doing this for the money and not to spread the love and christmas cheer i first naively thought they had. its disturbing that children aged 5 already understand the cash potential of the holiday so here is my scrooge christmas poem.

Really well-written, and sadly so very very true.

Yeah, I totally agree with you Laura-chan. ;_; So sad. x3 The true meaning of Christmas is nearly lost to the powers of commercialisation and the material world....

That was probably one of the most intelligent things you heard me say. XD

Danke. i didnt think you used this account anymore. I was worried that though, in my opinion, it is an accurate portrayal of the "festive season" that perhaps it was out of date. people gave up preaching about the comercialisation of christmas a good five years ago and accepted it.

i know what you mean when you refer to, to qoute you, "that "Peace,Love And Good Will" shite". its all hypocritical nonsense. for a church that preaches harmony it sure does alot to bring about chaos in its own way.
Oh yeah, thanks for the fave.
