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 Written by Trudy Schrader on 12/15/2021
