*** Poem Release ***
*** Christmas
Season ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
Christmas season is upon
us once again
the happy season, causing not joy but
pain
commercialism has taken it in a firm hold
even wanting
it twice a year, this I'm told
presents are no longer made by
hand with love
but bought and the price the measure of the
dove
ask a child what they got given for christmas
and get
given a report on their financial fitness
what happened to
spreading good will and cheer
now there is only keeping civil
and if lucky a beer
think back when this time was special
and
in humanity's bosom we would nestle
this can be again but takes
a seed
for the feeling to flourish and good will to
feed
