Cheer
The lights are blaring
The team is playing hard
The stadium rumbles the ground
With movement
...and cheer
Down in the street
The earth moves
With the shattering of windows
And loud cries
...and fear
The crafts are displayed
The tents hold beautiful treasure
Parades tell of wondrous joy
Feelings tingle the tinsel
...and peer
......back
..................and forth
..................................here is too near
The season is here
It is upon is...this very moment
Gifts are being bought
People still planning
...void
The illusion dissipates
At the feet of TRUTH
Idolatry at the heart
We bartered our youth
Children don't need lies
Adults needed entertainment
Gainsay palatable
For the familiar feeling
....cheer
Sweet taste
Bitter digestion
Idol work
Spider infestation
....bluh!
Hope shews forth LOVE
Nothing else will do
Cheer dredged in sickly fear
Equals Holiday stew
