The other side of Christmas

The point of Christmas has become greed,
Why?
Please...
do tell.
This should not be our creed.
We run amok,
like hens after slaughter,
seeking searching,
for THE present.
To give to dad,
mum, sister,brother.
Perhaps son or daughter?

We should breathe,
take a moment and pause,
pause the insanity that we call
Christmas.
Crazy, that is what
me,
you,
we
are!

Why have we lost that what is of importance?
Where is the love,
community and cheer?
Sad are we,
we humans of today...
therefore
I
cry a single tear,
no more,
no less...
one tear,
that is exactly what humanity deserves.

Author notes

Sometimes Christmas isn't that fun... the commersialism is killing it.

    Welcome to AllPoetry

    You are SOOOO correct ! Coomersialism has already killed Christmas in my eyes, it is so sad how no one feels the joy that used to come with the meaning
