A Little Thought
The festive season is nigh on
give thoughts and prayers, to those who have none
of the simple luxuries,most take for granted
the felling of trees,mostly never replanted.
The elderly afraid to heat their homes
the rich don christmas lit dwellings, and garden gnomes.
Our troops all around the world,families apart
parents and children missing them, with all their heart.
No fun at all people living the street
a hungry stomach,searching for heat.
Most passing them by,no second care
what if one day,they were there?
The starving millions throughout the land
walking bare feet,on rubbled sand.
Christmas morning being just another day
it`s the 21st century,it shouldn`t be this way.
Giving thanks to what i have got.
