‘Tis the Season…’
Strands of
fairy lights spiralling around
Local
authority evergreens. Card
Readers, to
their credit, are working hard
Reading the
advent lesson, profit found
In the
Christmas or Yuletide myth of choice.
Bethlehem,
though, is closed again this year,
Armageddon
seems to be drawing near,
With the
bellicose having found their voice.
It feels as
if the children of Herod
Are
committed to an ancient error
That
disputes can be resolved though terror,
With the
blessing of their particular god.
While there’s
still faith in nation and ordnance
How can
humanity hope to advance?
D. A.
