This Christmas Eve Poem by C. P. Sharma

This Christmas Eve

Rating: 5.0


The truth is so bitter,
it people don’t like;
conscience is muffled,
artifice holds the mike.

Christ, they crucified,
for Socrates a bowl;
the truth they can't bear,
show off they howl.

we are in capsular
compartment air tight;
of Nature's fresh air
we are always fright.

with new ideas
we keep the truth at bay;
the plastic money rules,
all over hold the sway.

false inflated ego
discovers nothing new;
it imitates Nature
in funny freaks few.

our own actions
pushing out of the race;
Incapacitating us
many machines trace.

on this Christmas eve
let us all celebrate;
with Nature’s potential
our life calibrate.

let not plastic money
its false ego inflate;
like a house of cards, it will
crumble under its weight.

on equality, harmony and peace
sit together and deliberate;
the monstrous menace of terror
from the world eliminate.

Very true, we have all these false egos of wealth, beauty and knowledge. Its high time we sit and deliberate on equality, brotherhood of man, love and peace. Let us shed these egos and see the truth---for we are dust and unto dust we shall return. A great eyeopener from you dear CPS A+++++and 10++++++from me. Ill take your piece to my fav. list regards Anjali

I like this poem. It seems to me appropriate to what the season should be.While the giving and receiving of gifts is pleasant and appropriate, as well, I think it often overshadows the real meaning of Christmas. Thanks for the invitation, my friend and I hope you have a happy holiday season. Richard
