Our Christmas fare
Tables
heaving
Cupboards
overflowing
Contrasts
starkly
With
our foreign brothers
With
meager bowls
Of
meal or rice
How
would they react?
To
our gluttony
The
homeless survive
On
handouts
Of
soup and bread
Or
half eaten burgers
Discarded
in bins
Sleeping
in doorways
Or
In cardboard boxes
With
news paper bedding
Should
we feel guilt?
For
having more than they
For
our good fortune
No
we shouldn’t
But
we should not forget them
We
should spare a thought
For
the less fortunate
And
be charitable
A
kind word or deed
Celebrate
Christmas
By
Christ’s rules
