Silence of winter
Snow falling softly to earth
Reminder of peace
In a world full of torment
In this we must take solace

Awash in the swamp, he’d supposed to drain
His promises proved lies now shown;
Oligarchs and thieves fall down as the rain
Your hopes and your dreams turned to stone.
We told you, we told you not to believe
This carnival barker cloaked in Versace;
Give it some time as I’m certain you’ll grieve
With your tears as they spoil your latte.
Prepare for the change that will turn back our time
To an age where our rights had no rights;
It’s you that will suffer for your ignorant crime
My greatest hopes’ that you lose sleep at night,
You’ve sold out our country with no care for her souls and left it in the hands of a jackal.
I hope you are happy as he rakes us o’er the coals while he and his ilk writhe and cackle.

Heavenly Father
God to the three religions
Why are we fighting
Men look for reasons to hate
In Allah, Yahweh, God’s name

Waters grow cold
As the summer sun sets.
A new season,
With holidays to warm the heart
Blossom amongst winters frost.
We give thanks
With family and friends gathered
Round our cosy tables.
An American tradition,
Too oft’ overshadowed by Christ’s Day
And corporations lust for profits.
We have bastardized all that is good
For Black Friday and our lust for deals.
Step back…is this what is important,
Are bargains and materialism
What Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about?
Look to the past,
Families enjoying the simple things
Like companionship and familial love.
This is what these holidays are about
These are what we are about.
It is not about gifts,
It is not about things,
It is about friends,
Family,
Thanks,
It is about our love for Christ and our fellow man.

NOTE: I realize that Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday are over, but I still think this piece applies to the entire holiday season.
