Chistmas (Acrostic)

Can you tell me and tell me true, stranger

 

How have you been good this year? Have you been

 

Rationing off your last dime, not buying yourself a thing


In constant need of food for yourself and your


Starving little ones who don’t understand


That the world is full of people who don’t care


Making sure they’re warm, not wanting to know your children


As they shiver, needing something warm in their stomachs but getting nothing


Stranger, can you tell me: why do we celebrate Christmas when you starve throughout the year?

    This was really good to be an acrostic. It's pretty hard to put the acrostics together sometimes. I find it to be harder than writing a Haiku. I look forward to your next poems. They're all great so far.

    Keep up the great work. I enjoy your writing and it's seeming to grow on me.
