A Sad Christmas

It’s Christmas morn at the crack of dawn
Deep snow is all around
We celebrate with peace and joy 
The coming of that baby boy
So long ago to save the world
So sad that it has come unfurled

With so much evil all around 
No lessons have been learnt
If only we could stop awhile
To contemplate the Christmas story
Of peace and love and joy and glory
Our beliefs are now so transitory

Take time away from all furore
Reevaluate the Christmas story
So sad that we have lost our way
But never too late or so they say
So make a difference whilst on this Earth
On Christmas day celebrate his birth
And fill your heart with love and joy
Rejoice in the birth of that baby boy
