This was the result of the news stories that rang through the radio waves in 1993.I stopped listening to the news for a long time after this. ‘Tis the season for holiday cheer ‘Tis the time for a child’s fear On the night when Santa should come A child lies quiet, facing a gun Jingle Bells should ring, Snow should fall Another child cries as he’s thrown down the hall A boy in tears lies tied in chains As Santa flies by snapping his reigns Christmas mourning for all who cry The tears and the fears hidden in Christmas lights Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night Another abused child dies in the night December 28, 1993MWilson aka Lyn Eagleton |

Reminds me of Elvis' rendition of The Ghetto and now I'll have that tune in my head all day. Stark writing.... thank you. |
