Jobs, food, places to call home, love, hope...
Its been replaced with pain, hurt, blame, loss, failure, emotional nihilism. This isn't in Africa or the Middle East I am speaking about. Its in America, we are the new THIRD WORLD COUNTRY! But as we see the 12 year old that seems to be angry, selfish, and lost; we accept that he is lost.
The lady in West Virginia that hates Obama, but is losing her husband and home to Cancer, we say good riddance to another dumb racist.
To the man that made $200,000 for years is now in his late 50's unemployed and close to penniless, we scoff at his plight because...well he made mistakes( the stock market didn't look at his color when it demolished his retirement fund) and wasted his cash..."you know I made a lot less, so to hell with him"!
The Marine that served her country only to find out that the only job available is to go back to a war that she doesn't believe in...well she doesn't support the troops, so to hell with her!
Countless of people that never fell through the cracks because they were NEVER on solid ground...well the system failed them? No according to our new found glory of thought...they are failures!
In time, we must accept that WE are the system. We made the system what it is...bad decision making at election time as if we ever had a good choice to begin with.
This is one of my favorite Xmas song...I doctored it up a bit to make a point. Times are getting too damn hard to see anything good...that is a recipe for madness. I hope that we can get mad enough to make some changes...
My hope for Xmas is that we can rise above this...for many don't know its Xmas time...
AT ALL.
Do They Know Its Xmas Time?
(lyrics are written by chloe glass) Paul Young
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
Boy George
And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy!
Throw your arms around the world at christmas time
(Phil Collins on the drums)
George Micheal
But say a prayer - pray for the other ones
At christmas time
Simon Le Bon
it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
Sting and Simon Le Bon
And it's a world of dreaded fear
Where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Bono
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be hope in America this christmas time
The greatest gift for many this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's christmas time at all?
Here's to you
Raise your glass for everyone
Here's to them
Underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time and
Feed the world
Let them know it's christmas time

"So this is Christmas, and what have we...another year over, and a new one...Merry, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I hope it's a... without any fear."
This is my all time favorite Christmas song by John Lennon.
An activist for world peace and love in his own time. Now we don't have him and this reminder came this last month at the 30th anniversary of his death.
Tis the season of peace and love and it is dying. It will become the death of us all if we let the shadows of winter freeze the Joy to the world.
"We are the world, we are the children" Let's make it a better place with knowing what Christmas time is!

Peace towards men of goodwill and here is one last expression and taste to finish this season,
"And the bewildered herd is still believing
Everything we've been told from our birth
Hell they won't lie to me
Not on my own damn TV
But how much is a liar's word worth
And what happened to peace on earth"
--Willie Nelson
