Charlie Brown Grows Up

most of the bulbs flicker now
each red and green a glimmer
sent to the world’s
children.

ancient events tinsel out
in explosions of color
red cheeks
white breath
eager kids sledding.

our mobile society
lurches toward Bethlehem
chanting reindeer songs
searching for meaning.

boxes litter the floor
one more toy
one more tie
one more computer game
tossed into the void.

Shultz's Charlie Brown. "Good Grief," I'm a kid again. Thanks for this poem. It's as meaningful as the "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree."
