my thanks to Iceman, Cabby, and Tony for the help ironing out the kinks on this one.

EDIT 2008: this was written for Christmas in 2007.
i had forgotten all about it until a new friend (Bobby) commented on it.
if you would, please cut and paste the url:

and send it to a few of your friends.
that way others might enjoy this again, this year.
thanks,

The Worst Christmas in Years

In a brick house in Hilltop,
live a couple named D.I.N.K.
Their soirée was a big flop,
and they drown in red ink.

Behind on the mortgage,
is just one of their fears.
Public scandal and outrage.
on this,
the worst Christmas in years.

The middle-class masses
living out near the fringe,
were acting like asses,
with the toy buying binge.

They sought praises and flatteries
But got insults and sneers.
Stupid Dad forgot batteries
On this,
The worst Christmas in years.

On the streets of the City
more gritty than pretty,
three sons of a crackwhore,
there were four, then the gang war.

The killers must pay.
There is no time for tears.
More blood spills today.
on this,
the worst Christmas in years.

In the land of Starvation
you can fall to your knees,
but not find salvation
amidst the disease.

Why waste your breath?
Tears fall on deaf ears.
Just hope for death
to end
the worst Christmas in years.

In a warm tidy shack
way out in the sticks,
they have something I lack
in my house made of bricks,

They saved every penny
to send Junior to college.
He’ll be the first of their many
to 'get him some knowledge'.

All hungry but willing,
to sing holiday cheers,
their hope is fulfilling,
on this,
the best Christmas in years.

Merry Christmas, UG
work at making your life better
but no matter how tough it is,
remember: there will almost certainly be someone who has it worse.
be thankful for even the smallest joys life hands you.
for some, simply eating a hot meal would be a luxury.
for others, a kind word or a held-open door could turn bad day into a good one.
opportunities abound for sharing the spirit of giving,
make use of them, as they present themselves.

"... and to all, a good night"

Ooh that's a good one. A total documentation of how Christmas has become so commercialized over the years. The meaning of Christmas is not about all the stuff you get or how much money you spend, it's being with the ones you love. Those are very good words kudos to you my man.

I'm spending this Christmas with my family we're all going on vacation and I don't think I'll be around UG much in the next while so here's hoping you have a good one too! Merry Christmas!
