A Listening For a True Christmas
And the Word became flesh,
And among us dwelt.
Just as then,everything is done
to not make our hearts melt.
We adore phony creatures that
will never save us.
God's Son has been replaced by
a reindeer with a red nose.
On Jesus, oh no! On Him the
door we happily close.
For we humans believe we know
more than God.
Of Scripture, we snicker avoid like
not so innocent clods!
We wonder and fret, why the world
gets stranger!
Perhaps it is to silence the cries from
the manger?
I hope you find the true reason for
December the twenty-fifth.
And stop adoring store-created
creatures that are only a myth!
Innocent, perhaps, or as cute as
they maybe,
Neither, elves, Rudolph nor Santa
will being us to eternity.
The churches are locked the night
the child of God is born?
For this poetess, it makes my sad
heart mourn!
Presents will be opened with great
joy and glee.
Rare, so rare, is the mention of God's
Son, who came to earth for Thee!
Prayers before dinners are rushed
through at best.
In a big hurry to stuff our faces with
a bountiful food fest.
We put out cookies and milk, telling our
children to "believe!"
In elves, a deer and an very obese
man with red sleeves?
How many homes at least have
a manger?
Very scarce is this seen, we prefer a
world filled with atheism, arrogance and
danger.
Take a good look at all the freedoms
you have lost,
And still, you don't understand, it's
all about giving up God at cost!
I wish this message reaches just
one!
And am fearless to bless you with the
forbidden greeting, "Merry Christmas"~
on this birth of God's only Son!
~~Merry Christmas~~
