DAY-AFTER MORN

    'Tis the day after Christmas and all through the house, everyone is grumpy--even the mouse.

    The stockings are ripped, the papers are torn and the beauty is thrown in the garbage with scorn.

    "After the Day" shoppers all struggle and gather as they wonder and moan as to "what is the matter".

    All is trashed whilst the blessings are scorned--all have forgotten that a Christ-child was born.

    Even children abandon and scorn, the toys unwanted on this "day after" morn.

    Ah, indeed, could the message be true?  That it's intended "forgetting" that a Christ-child was born?

 

    In the Holy Land Palestinians await their death in a nether-land between Hades and Hell.

    Whilst disease, not famine, is found the culprit--the signs loudly tell--

    In a land destroyed by political might--So-Malians await death from this unfolding plight.

    Where are the "troops" to fight this disease and bring food to the dying in a trap man imposes?

    Where are the "humanitarians" in this world of Humanistic decrees?

    Whilst death takes its toll in varying degrees?

 

    They cannot be found in that land "in-between" where expelled sons and husbands await their demise.

    They cannot be found in that Bosnia where death fire reigns on those who would venture to get their supplies.

    They cannot be found in South-East L.A. to guard of the food contributed for need.

    They are lost forever to this land filled with greed.

    They are not there, where gangers kill brothers, in a land of confusion--no love for another.

    The Eagle is bounded by wings which are broken, by arrows and bullets left as a token.

    Indeed there is wonder on this "day after" morn--for all have forgotten a Christ-child was born.

--A reminder, Hatonn.

No, I do not pretend to be a "poet"--and yes, indeedy, I'm the first to know-it!  What words will thee hear?  As it seems mine often miss--the ear!  Perhaps it's the fault of the "brain" which lies so close--to the ear in point--which is intentionally closed??

May the light of the "day-after" blues--give you reason to look and see the clues.  You are headed for dreadful let-down--if you fail to see that righteous crown--atop that wondrous Perfection--A CHRIST CHILD CAME DOWN!

Does this Being wear sparkles or feathers of blue?  No, indeed, all He gets is the covering called YOU!
