Merry Christmas World
A time of joy
a time of piece
is not the only side
of this multifaceted world
turn the mirror
to see the pain
the tears, the fears
the lonelyness and depression
the sickness the dakness
light and dark
two warring sides
on one earth
what is dark and what is light?
hunger, war, DEATH
love, joy LIFE
the mirror relfects the light
leaving the darkness behind
see what you want to see
not what is needed
needed to be known
the mirror moves back
to the side of the light
leaving the dark behind
say merry christmas world
maybe someday the time will come
when the mirror
doesn't need to hide the darkness
when it will reflect the light into the dark
and warm every corner of the world
our diamond in the rough
that will be polished one day
to become a glorious sun
obliterating darkness
leaving only light
a day when we can say
and mean it
Merry Christmas World
