Christmas For the Poor

Christmas for the poor
too many food on the table
in different varieties and colours
so many modern design of 
silver spoons and knife's
all around the table 
in white colours with White
candles
besides the rich food table
stands the Christmas tree
which hardly you could see
cos it is decorated and almost
covered with gifts 
oh what a Christmas
I can't wait for that evening
the rich hope and say 
with joy and confidence
cos the cash is available for 
their wish 
oh what a rich Christmas
a big White Christmas

Christmas for the poor
Christmas is never white 
for the poor 
cos we can't afford it cost
despite we are Christians
how could we when we live 
by 1dollar per day 
how could we dish out 
various dishes 
decorate our table with 
lots of food and design 
our old tables with heavy
expensive silver spoons
when we were never born 
with one 
how could our belly be 
filled when we have little 
food but too much mouth
to eat
how could we wear new Christmas
cloths when our wages 
can't afford us one 
we hardly play the Christmas music
cos electricity is cut off from 
our home
what a Christmas
a very ugly one the 
Christmas for the poor

Christmas for the poor
in this new Christmas 
on the corner 
stretch your hands to the 
needy 
gave to the homeless
gave to the motherless
gave to the widows
gave just gave to the poor
gave beyond just families
remember the hungry ones
they need a rice for Christmas
let humanity leads our gift 
this new Christmas 
cos when you are richly 
celebrating Christmas
remember the poor Christians
they are the why 
I write this worlds of truth 
they are the victims of 
corruption deceit and lies
so help stop poverty In this 
Christmas 
 cos out there their are too many
Christmas for the poor
