Beyond the Niceties of Christmas

The facts                                                remain
Poverty                    greed                      remain
War                         power                      remain
Struggle                   death                      remain
Starvation                famine                     remain
Fire                         devastation               remain
Flood                       catastrophe               remain
Rape                        loss of innocence       remain
Murder                     loss of life
Christmas                 rebirth
Beyond Christmas     Hope,renewed, for Peace on Earth.
