Spend
Spend
on gift wrap and toys
throw away presents
for good girls and boys
ribbons and bows
all wrapped up with care
in hopes that St. New Day
soon shall be here

Spend
Spend
no reason to save
starve the poor children
the world is their grave
missiles and guns
hardware and planes
little toy soldiers
and electric toy trains

Spend
Spend
nuclear toys
the perfect gift
from our girls and boys
nuclear waste
biological games
no time for peace
or personal names

Spend
Spend
we’ll say mass for
we’ll mourn for your dead
it’s the least we can do...
We spend and spend
we keep you in mind
the sin’s of the fathers...
humanities crime...

Or in the case of the current situation we find ourselves in.... the sins of their fathers. Enjoyed even though I am for ridding the world of these killers.

Lori...Thought provoking, Christmas and the toys of death and destruction...They do not belong in the same world, but, deal we must...good stuff.

I know what you mean. Seems like everywhere is screaming "Buy! Buy! Buy!" "Sale! Sale" Sale"......but they all cost money.

That is why I'm making some handmade crafts. It's a personal touch, and you don't have to spend a fortune. It's something special from you that others will cherish forever.

Have a Merry Christmas Lori!!!!!

We spend too much on things we don't need and we don't spend enough time on each other.
Toys can't replace love, and missiles can't replace real peace. Beautifully expressed, Lori. Love the way your writing progresses. Love, Alex

Lori dear, was there every a time in our history when it wasn't like. And haven't we always felt helpless of what happens in our lives. How can Christmas be different. ONLY IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH ... ONLY IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH! God bless you Lori for your concerns. Bill Murray (kojak)
