Celebrate the Season

And a Very Merry Christmas to Joe Users

In the madness of current times

When seems the world’s religions

Instead of heralding peace with chimes

Pound the drums of war’s abominations;

In the chaos of hypocritic scripts

When faiths are usurped by demagogues

Who shovel falsity from musty crypts

To bury truth’s inspired dialogues—

Christmas, despite its secular marketplace,

On solemn eve dwells in peaceful interface.
