CHRISTMAS DAY:

The swan weeps icicles upon blade cold lake,
The man raises his glass & shouts a festive "cheers",
The crocodile, within his ardent mud, sheds blood tears,
The woman puts the finishing touch to her iced Christmas cake.

"Oh glory", the shots have stopped for just one day.
We´re blind, we´re deaf, we´re mad, the wars go on.
It´s Jesus’ birthday, celebrations for God´s precious Son,
It´s Christmas day, & we are happy humans, hooray, hooray.

We eat, we drink, we spend, pick & choose,
But the hunger, thirst, & poverty doesn’t end.
Why celebrate? Why pretend?.
Your joy & their misery just continue.
