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
