Merry Christmas To Me

Just getting out some anger ... never mind me.

Poem Artwork


No shame.  People have no shame.
Preying upon the weak, the vunerable,
the ... stupid?  Not the word.  Happened

again:  picture:  a store puts out a plastic
jug, asking for a little charity to help
someone out.  A damn thief comes in

and steals it -- caught on camera.  For
what?  Merry Christmas to you.  The
holidays are coming up, it brings out

the worst in people:  Go shopping, risk
getting your presents stolen right out
of the basket, purse or wallet gone in

pickpocket's second.  Merry Christmas
to you!  Food banks down; organizations
don't have the money to help,  people do

not have the extra to spare.  Poverty is
a luxery few can afford.  Bitter?  Could
say that ...  Merry Christmas to me --

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (11/7)

I will bet that you truly have the spirit of Christmas in you, but for whatever reason you're just letting off some steam. Heck, it's not even Thanksgiving - of course, we don't have to wait until them to be thankful. Gotta' do it everyday.

That is so sad. Makes you wonder what kind of persons would do such a thing. Are they needy themselves, wanting to get drugs, or just plain evil?

Holidays always bring out both the wordst and best in people especially Christmas which is why we have to be more thankful we have Him to keep us from bitterness and cruetlty of acting like others.

Ahhh but dear friend if you and I reach out to help just one person this Christmas whether it be to visit a senior in a nursing home or babysit a child so a mother can go shopping...maybe we can start a chain to reverse the trends...

Such monoesters are found in every community. Exploiting holidays in a most heinous way. What a pity!

That is a shame. Holidays can become commercialized at times.

Holidays bring out people with lots of money for shopping. Theives have no heart. They have black hearts and could give a care about anything besides their alcohol or drug fix. To me, they;re some of the worst criminals around. Put them in lockup and let them steal from one another.

And it should bring out the best; quite a sad indictment of our world today.

O, boy, do I hear you! Loud and clear! Might be a pity party, but sometimes you just gotta' get it out; people have no idea what others are going through, unless they're in that situation or read poems like this.

Excellent rant, rant on, baby gurl!

(((HUGS))), much love, and MANY prayers, as always, your twin sister, Karen Lynn. :(

At least we will have a Christmas--somehow we will. We always do. We need to learn to count our blessings, be thankful for what we already have: each other, our health (such as it is LOL), our friends at AD and elsewhere, a roof over our heads, food in our belies--sometimes--, God's love...He's been good to us, even in our darkest times; this is when He's at His Best because He blesses us, somehow, some way.
