Materialisation Poems | Examples

I could never understand

I could never understand 
the festive stories that were told 
of the making of snowmen.
but I was building sandcastles
upon beaches with sands of gold.

I could never understand 
the festive stories that were told 
of frostbites and binding blizzard snow.
when I was getting sunburnt
by ray`s of blinding light.

I could never understand 
how we celebrated the birth of one
who was against materialisation
but yet we bought and spent big

I could never understand 
how we celebrated the birth of one
who walked with the poor
but yet greed was our guiding light.

I could never understand 
how we celebrated the birth of one
who helped the starving
but yet we feasted till we nearly burst.
