Leap of Fatal Faith

Leap Of Fatal Faith

Another battle fought and the shops are empty
Easter Bunnies in the production line can’t wait
I need money and lots of it for next year’s round

I hereby patent my golden turkey for survival
Little chocolate tank tracks and marzipan bullets
Cream covered shrapnel and gingerbread limbs

Toffee filled bomb shells nougat for camouflage
Sugar iced tent cities and plenty of tin soldiers 
Refugees bubble gum boats standing no chance

Wars are for life and not a mess just for Christmas
With my bank account swelling there must be some 
Sense in the day after Christmas so jump jubilate

Celebrate at your fatal peril and my sweet surprise

Kai, I am so happy your poem placed! I always am so (happy is a wrong word) to see your counter weight poems, they are good, and so true.

Thank you Darren. Your comments are always very encouraging. And thanks for the 'counterweight' phrase. I never thought of it in that way, just out of the box. Many wishes for the New Year, Kai
