Artificial Christmas trees
With a plastic sent to match
Representing the American way
Convenience over traditions
Prepackaged meals
Empty contents, Microwave, 2 minutes
With speed over connections
The way I can hear your, “Merry Christmas”
When you haven’t spoken one word
Just text on a screen
The American way
Substituting Mother Nature
For something manufactured
Replacing the taste of sweetness
For the taste of chemical burns
Interchanging a season of love
For a season of bashing for the latest trend
We scour about for the perfect gift
To buy that someone specials love
Swapping common sense for dollar signs
Spending more money then we make
Credit cards and lost connection
Lost in the frenzy
It is the American way
