Family yelling curses,
Senators stifling prayer,
Friends turning backs,
Not a soul to hear my plea.

Where is the harmony,
The beauty and grace?
Where is the spirit
Of giving and love?

Tell me please,
What have you done
With the world’s faith,
The meaning of the holiday?

Riddle me this,
Where’s my peppermint Christmas?

I wrote this as I was thinking about all those chain emails I've been getting about the lack of the REAL holiday in this country. It saddens me that the government that preaches "freedom of religion" is telling us not to pray in public, not to refer to it as Christmas, etc.

Nice piece; I like it all up to the second last line. It feels a bit, "cartoon villianish", which detracts something from the power of the piece.

Great Piece!
Merry Christmas!

Hmmm, and here I was being sarcastic when I wrote that line. That's a very interesting thought, I'm going to have to go back and look at that. Thank you!

"Pharmacologically Yours"? I saw it, I'm just not sure what to say about it...

LoL, what do you mean?

I'll go put it in a comment on YOUR poem.
