The Christmas rush, the
shopping sales
black Friday deals all
round
the cyber Mondays cast thy
plan
and steal the restful
sound
From thief in mustache
thick and black
with belt of discipline's
lack
the branding acts that
trod thy path
intentioned hateful acts
From hustler's mind didst
thou escape
while falsehoods grind and
smear
thy thoughts to take and
conquer thee
the pains throughout the
years
The shows, the movies, the
cartoons too
the blaring tv reigns
dispelling quiet from thy
life
fills inner soul with pain
Wonderful life and Santa
Claus
and Reindeer nose of red
with Frosty's hat and
Wonka's treats
the thirty-fourth street
sled
Of Ebenezer, Scrooge and
Tim
the tiny one with cane
and ghost from present,
past and “ore
and Marley's willful bane
With Elf and Charlie,
Linus' decree
Polar express and Grinch
Toy Story, Mickey's
Christmas too
Twas the night before the
squinch
The trumpets, organs,
pianos too
the flickerings, the
lights
coordinated spans and
wreaths
the trees snow covered
white
The choirs, the songs and
Jingle Bells
with Deck the Halls
enshroud
the king of Ding a ling
that sung
the instruments clamor
loud
The trees the ornaments
the lights
the tinsel hung around
the stand, the sap, the
wrapping cloths
the needles on the ground
But in the corner lone by
self
escaping all the noise
the chatter, clamor,
ringing bells
the tunes of joyful poise
Where peace is found
whilst thou alone
the still small voice
abounds
thine heart to speak
directed path
away from joyful sound
And thus thou wise to find
escape
the chaos season bright
and move from thee thy
soul's despair
that rules within thy
night
