(nay) Merry Christmas 2011
Thousands of years ago
A Catholic Holy Priest
Descended on a young Virgin Mary
Demure young angel
Betrothed to an undeserving carpenter
Today
A boy was born
Of Mary and the Holy Priest
His name is boy Jesus
Intelligent
Great leader he became
Poor innocent Joseph
Don’t you worry
It was the Holy Spirit
Today
We celebrate that lie
Perpetuating the fraud
On poor Joseph's property
Who cares?
Gifting, gifted ostentations
Wine, dine and wenching
Great day for the haves
The poor recoil
Into their deprived cocoons
Dreaming and depressed
Merry for the moneyed
Mess for the masses
Merry Christmas!
Didnt know you are an atheist. Merry X-mas though.
ReplyDeleteChristmas lost its glory when we grew up, i remember the days when, in the early '90s, we would really celebrate as kids..
