Tinsel and Death

Christmas isnt just about the presents and giving
Lets remember the less fortunate scraping a living
Third world continents filled with death and starvation
Blood being shed from nation to nation

I ask you reflect in this season of good cheer
The hungry and homeless lives filled with fear
So when your presents have been opened and the food as been fed
Spare a thought for our soldiers and there blood being bled

If it be a god or a prophet you worship with love
Look into your soul and give your conscience a shove
Lets get rid of the greed drop the guns and talk to each other
The world needs to unite as one as sister and brother
