Christmas for Whom? (Short List)

Shoppers everywhere
We still have the homeless

Reservations only at the fine restaurants
We still have the hungry

Mega holiday bonuses
We still have less than minimum wage

Palatial homes being built
We still have the foreclosures

Millions of acres with no crops
We still genetically alter corn

We outsource billions
We still have the jobless

We build nuclear plants
We still have very few windmills

We have pork barrels galore
We still have tax inequity

We began our country with God in mind
We still try to remove Him from everything


Somewhere, "Merry" took a wrong turn
We need to get "her" back on track
To all and to those who would remove tidings from this time of year,
Merry Christmas!
