Merry Bloody Christmas No No No

Ok!
How do I put it
Without offending anyone
My Christmas is not Christmas
It’s no longer fun.

I cannot find a card
With daddymas on
And the cross of my Jesus
They removed it, it’s gone

Why do I have to sacrifice 
This is my belief’s 
That offend others, 
And it’s now governed by commercial thieves

All I want is to say Merry Christmas
Instead I have to say seasons greetings
In case I offend someone 
With politically incorrect meetings

I am not offended by Ramadan or Diwali
I celebrate along and see others all jolly
But let me say Merry Christmas then I have to say sorry
Where’s baby Jesus and Mary gone
From every commercial they have been withdrawn.

Instead of that Christmasy feel in the air
It’s sales, sales, sales, which is not fair 
Well I suppose it’s enough from me 
This is something I would like to share

All I want is to say Merry Christmas Instead I have to say seasons greetings. Understanding your dilemma, Sidney. "Congratulations" on your worthy poem's recognition. Agape, Moses

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!! My sentiments exactly! When will we get someone in the government to wake up and smell the roses. Others cannot go to their country and make changes so why? Why is it allowed to happen here?? Dosen''t Canada or the USA have a backbone?? OK. Just that you touched a very sensitive subject here for me, didn't mean to go off on a tangent. Luv, Joy (Jew)
