Christmas Lament In Verse
I am lamenting
Christmas meaning
oh, where has it gone
it is lost
it seems to be all about gifts
instead of the baby
born
to Mary
and to Joseph
in a stable on straw
under a sparkling star
it seems to me
to have become a party
of bright colors
and blinking lights
of gift giving and food
but this baby born would die for our sins
nailed to a cross
until dead
and it seems to have been forgotten
that's my lament
