It's Christmas In The Last Part Of The Year 2 Poem by Gert Strydom

It's Christmas in the last part of the year
with a terrible war raging on the earth,
as both sides do celebrate Christ's birth
where the very next year is now near.

While elsewhere people live without any my fear
and through the world people are with mirth
but to stop Russian atrocities there is great dearth;
that they hate the West to me is clear.

I pray, Christmas, God will lives with love fill,
that caring and empathy will thoughts constitute:
that people will experience love and mercy,
that even Putin, will know God is in control still,
that were there is trouble it will change to be good;
that next year peace and prosperity the world will see.
