CHRISTMAS SPREE The World is in turmoil There's War everywhere People starving and homeless And not enough seem to care. It’s not their kid who’s dying In someplace across the sea Or who is mere skin and bones With no one to hear their plea. Some people are too busy Out spending their money To try and to outdo others If not sad, it would be funny. Some began it months ago Swiping that plastic, credit card There’s some will never pay it off And for most, it will be hard. Then there are those people Who want, “politically correct” Who want, “Happy Holidays” (What else would you expect?) They can’t leave well enough alone The way it’s always been for years They say it might offend someone And there’s some other stupid fears. Peace and Goodwill are evasive And they will most likely never be As long as the rich get richer From War and the Christmas spending spree. 12.16.06 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity.

OhAbe~ Dear friend, I respect your opinions, yet, I would disagree MANY have NOT forgotten to CARE ! "The World is in turmoil There's War everywhere People starving and homeless And not too many seem to care." Many, many DO CARE, Abe ... for each gift I buy a family loved one ... I also *gift* to those who have not~ I keep our soldiers in prayer vigil ... for yes, some of them are members of my family~ With the joy and love of the spirit of Christmas, I'm betting many, many care more than you poetically give them credit for doing~ MERRY CHRISTMAS, ABE~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I meant not TOO many. There's never TOO many. I'll change to "not enough". |
