Christmas Misses

Turkeys carving

Children starving

Feast on the table

Homeless and disabled

Christmas tree aglow

Wanderer with nowhere to go

Pull the crackers read the joke

A body lies under a cloak

Raise a glass of finest port

Celebrate no second thought

Presents torn open

A stranger lies broken

Party in full swing

A Robin shakes its wings

Attracted by the shiny things

Here comes the drunken dance

An old soul dreams of the chance

To be in the company of friends

The cruelty never ends

Christmas is a cold cold gun

Pointing at the unfortunate ones
