O Worldly Concept God

“O commercialized corporate franchise” 
Thou that holds illusions in selling lies
    Max out your credit cards
    Lenders be holder’s lords
Forfeiting all bank notes as owner cries

“O commercialized corporate franchise” 
My babies wonder about Christmas guys
    My babies’ futures be scared
    Must obey corporate lords
“O thou commercialized corporate lies”

Just commercialized greedy Xmas rush
Souls like zombies of  the corporate thrust 
    The X  of  the Christ
    O Love’s sacrifice
“In commercialized corporate we trust”

For Commercialized Humor contest

A perfect win.....you tell it like it is!!! Enough to say Bah Humbug, except that no one has the right to take the spirit out of Christmas....especially the corporate franchise CEOs! Well done, john!!

Congratulations on taking first place, John. I was impressed with many aspects of this poem. You truly stuck to the topic, showed how greed has taken over the true spirit of Christmas and removed thoughts of Christ with "xmas." Outstanding entry. I'll be working on your stocking. Love, Carolyn
