No Festive Wishes Poem by Paul Butters

I'm not sending festive wishes.
Well I have, but that's not the point.
What good is being good at Christmas
And the New Year,
Only to be a bastard
The rest of the time?

What use is a holiday peace
When your working day
Is spent killing…?

No
What I wish for you
Is Peace and Happiness all Year,
Every Year.
I wish for Peace and Prosperity
Set in stone for ever -
Nobody starving
No-one excluded
From Society's camp-fire.

We need a Human Race
United
As One,
Respecting All
As Equals.

We need this all the time,
Not just in "The Season of Good Cheer".
We need a Better Way
Forever.
Amen.
