A Social Contradiction

Let's look around us: is the slowly-spinning and stunning Earth the happiest place to spend a lifetime and then suddenly die? Sorry to say it has never been such, unless we're portents of faith; where can we go to find our peaceful haven and not cling to a lie? During the Holidays some cry, some smile: what a social contradiction! Spot the weeping souls around the corner, their tears are real! They wish they had it all, we but they can't change their condition; now, meet the ones who smile and always control life's spinning wheel! The Frasers have a beautiful home with a pool and tennis court, during the Holidays they display their wealth with the jolliest heart: while the Dickson's run-down house has cheap garlands and lights; often their kids stare in awe and wish they lived there on chilly nights! Although they are neighbors, they seem to be living many miles apart, they never exchange greetings: it's a wall built on total selfishness; shouldn't they be like good friends that feel selfeless love in their heart? The Johnsons and the Frasers refuse to settle their huge differences! Written on 11/29/2015
