Santa’s Pain

By: Santa Fee

Santa only shook his head and wondered…

What kind of world do we live in

Santa asked himself again

Too tired to hide his sadness

Faked a laugh to hide his pain

He asked this question every day

“What can Santa bring to you?”

The answer though he got back

Left Santa feeling kind of blue

“I want a real gun for Christmas Santa

so can you make my wish come true

I don’t want a pellet gun or bb rifle

Mr. C just get me a handgun shiny new!”

Santa sadly shook his weary head

Ran his fingers through his beard

Trying to find an honest answer

For in his heart he really cared

“I will not give you a handgun

for too many kids have already died

Moms and Dads spend Christmas alone

and way too many tears have been cried.”

“I’ll give to you a hug and a wish

that you will never have to see

one of your friends face down on the ground

with a smoking gun beside his knee!”
