Silent Christmas Skies
A twinkle within people’s eyes,
the homeless extending hands…
Joyous children in their surprise,
as a lonely man sleeps by his pans…
A Santa by the corner stands,
some see silent Christmas skies…
Merchants with their demands,
others in their cuddled cries…
A Christmas party begins at six,
some decaying amidst their deform…
Sipping cocktails to get their kicks,
while others must weather the storm…
A fireplace inside to keep warm,
a woman urinates the cold bricks…
Merrymaking is the new norm,
others praying upon their crucifix…
Dining and dancing in their hall,
the true meaning of Christmas is lost…
A very merry Christmas to all,
while others are being tossed…
A couple frolicking in the frost,
as the hungry have death for their decal…
People buying no matter the cost,
A lonely Christmas silent sky does fall.
