Dazzled

Dazzled by the church this christmas time again, 
So many services on TV, reverends saying when,   
So many cards imaging the baby, angels, sheep, 
Who were supposedly under god’s control, creep.

Pastors reading the bible to me, the sacred nativity, 
Invites to carol services in the mail for connectivity,
Memories of protracted christmas eve meetings, 
Where the gospel was also preached for musings. 

But Father Christmas looms with love and cheer, 
For everyone, every race, any nation of any gear;
And your diversity, if you’re a child, is respected, 
By that adviser of gift choice, your one’s selected.
