Be Kind for Christ's sakes… it’s Christmas

Christmas is here, and not just a calendar date
It’s more then just shopping (which is something I hate)
It’s about giving – both your love and affection
(Not to mention those lovely chocolate confections)

Sales Events, Clearances and Half-Offs by the dozen
I saved 60% on this microwave oven
Finding a crack in the window, flexed my shopping power
Now I can get soup and leukemia in under an hour

But for many – snow covered lawns, singing carolers, and mirth
And religious rejoicing about some child’s birth
Remind us to be kind, and feelings towards others not ignore
(we can do that the other - three hundred and sixty-four)

I say it’s inane to wait for a reason
To love one another, why wait for a Season?
With the world today and our leaders of State
Do you think that the planet can handle more hate?

Now I’m not a religious man, not in an organized way
Between Religious and Atheist and think there’s some grey
And I think people are crap, generally speaking
We are careless individuals – but enough critiquing

It’s the planet I’m fond of, hell it’s my abode
It’s provided me shelter and I think that’s it’s owed
Some respect and dignity from all those that reside
Trying living on the surface with everything fried

So happy holidays to all - on this magnificent globe
Our time here is short, take it from Job
Who understood life and its wondrous ways
Quote: "Man that is born of a woman - is of few days”
