I Can'T Sleep Tonight

I CAN’T SLEEP TONIGHT I can’t sleep tonight, thinking of others All those lost hurt sisters and brothers I really want; to wish the rest of us well But; it doesn’t reflect well, others in hell Whose inner souls, having no good rest While; we are as enjoying life to its best Life to me is just a b*tch and so uneven Others suffering without; a good reason How can we; enjoy this, Christmas cheer When just down the road; others in fear Spending so much money; to give praise As a child long dead; we all give appraise His heart wants you; to give to all others Open all your hearts, to the lost mothers Whose children cry at this so festive time Of celebrations; nothing, short of a crime We have got it wrong, can’t you just see Give to all others; and, set all others free So nation upon nation; can all sleep tight As protect the unprotected; on this night Give thanks; and, praises to what we got And keep thinking of those who have not Christmas for me is going in the trash bin Cause unless all are happy; it is just a sin Indiana Shaw . . . *-*

They say great minds think alike, you and my wife are of the some mind. Xmas is all about money. So, instead we are taking care of my wife's 88 year old Uncle who is in a wheelchair.

Care of others is what it is all about Robert, not the hype, good on you both and, at 4ft 11, I am just 1 inch short of Paradise . . . ; )

Some will say I'm just a killjoy, but; I just look at all the hype stuff at Xmas and, think another meal for the poor wasted . . . : (
