(~ A Christmas Poem ~)

MERRY CHRISTMAS
  ~  
  ~ 
Twas two weeks
before Christmas,
  
When all through our land,
   
 
Not a Christian was praying
   
 
Nor taking a stand.
   
 
Why the PC Police

had taken away.
  
The reason for Christmas -

no one could say.

    
 
The children were told

by their schools not to sing.
   
 
About Shepherds and Wise Men 
and Angels and things.
   
 
It might hurt people's feelings, 
the teachers would say,
   
 
December 25th

is just a 'Holiday'.
   
 
 
Yet the shoppers 
were ready with cash, 
checks and credit.
   
 
Pushing folks down to 
the floor just to get it!
   
 
CDs from Madonna, 
an X BOX, an I-Pod.
   
 
Something was changing, 
something quite odd!

    
 
Retailers promoted

Ramadan and Kwanzaa
   
 
In hopes to sell books 
by Franken & Fonda.
   
 
As Targets were hanging 
their trees upside down,
  
At Lowe's the word Christmas,
was no where to be  found.
   
 
At K-Mart and Staples 
and Penny's and Sears
   
You won't hear

the word Christmas;

it won't touch your ears.
    
 
Inclusive, 

sensitive,

Di-ver-is-ty
    
 
Are words that were used

to intimidate me.
    
 
Now Daschle, Now Darden, 
Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
    
 
On Boxer, on Rather, 
on Kerry, on Clinton!
    
 
At the top of the Senate,

there arose such a clatter
    
 
To eliminate Jesus,

in all public matter.

     
 
And we spoke not a word,

as they took away our faith.
   
 
Forbidden to speak

of salvation and grace.
   
 
The true Gift of Christmas

was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, 
stopped before it started.

    
 
So as you celebrate

'Winter Break'

under your 'Dream Tree'
   
 
Sipping your Starbucks,

listen to me.
    
 
Choose your words carefully, 
choose what you say
   
 
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
not Happy Holiday!

     
 
Please, all Christians


join together and
wish everyone you meet a

    
 MERRY CHRISTMAS!
   
    
   
 
 Christ is The Reason 

for the Christ-mas Season!
