Prophets in disguise

Search the skies, oh so wise,

Tears, like atoms, don’t decay

Love, like photons, light the way.

A babe against a warmy chest

Dreamt of nets filled with fish

Whilst flight across sand and seas

Brought the donkey to his knees.

All mixed up in snow and ice,

Discarded plastics choke Christmas mice;

We, fat as turkeys, but leaflet thin,

Hear churches, empty, play a hymn.

Leaders roulette round playground fights,

Card the walls red and lower sights.

Technology provides and takes away

From biologic lives, hope and decay.

Poets crouch by their gossamer lines,

Like tinselled webs yet deep as mines;

Watch love stick fast to truth and care

here and there, yes; every where!

So friends lift presents to others hearts,

Touch lips to brains, near and apart;

And parents kiss their children in their beds

May love and peace lie ahead.

Have a wonderful Christmas!
