As I read the ads, as I
watch the commercials
the lights blinding, the
sales unending
people being trampled,
being arrest.
Santa everywhere, but
where is the Christ-child
We have lost Christmas on
the altar of excess
Why did this happen, were
we so timid
did we let others steal
Christ’s day
Santa everywhere, but
where is the Christ-child
No one lines up to pose
by the stable
the manger bed where He
lay
for pictures with Mary,
with Joseph
Lost busy shopping, for
things we don’t need
