Christmas Abused….Perhaps Misused Poem by James B. Earley

Spiritually America....

At Christmastime......evaluates

....Piously...Mary and Joseph....it elevates

The Baby Jesus....we tend celebrate

Conversely....Maria and José...society devaluates

.......Baby "Jesús"....the Nation thus denigrates


Trump's Border Wall....whose mindset.....asphyxiates

Christianity's virtues....as such......capitulates

Merry Christmas'...mockery......desecrates

......That prosperous New Year....we hear...hesitates


If our future's lucky....hypocrisy will dissipate

And some day.....perhaps

That Baby "Jesús"....we've long despised.... we'll come


.........To appreciate
