Is Santa Coming?


Is Santa coming?
Can you hear above
Are reindeer running?
Bring presents of love
Why’s mother crying?
Cradling her son
The world is lying
No peace for anyone, anyone!

Is Santa coming?
Or is it a lie?
No one is smiling
Although we all try
That noise above you
Is not quite what you think
That sound above you
Is killing everything, everything!

I thought this was the time of year
When everyone lives without fear
I thought this was the time of year
When everyone lives without fear!
Without fear!

Angels are calling
Can you hear their sigh
The snow is falling
White petals on high
They build a snowman 
Place a carrot for his nose
Black coal for eyes
Slippers for freezing toes
Freezing toes!

Thank you for your comment. The world is in turmoil. This is based on a song I have written. I am going to publish on YouTube when I have time. I wish you a very happy Christmas Annelise and a wonderful New Year. Dave
