Christmas Eve, Time to Deceive
12/24/01
It's the time of year again
One day of to share again
The only time we care again
To think of someone else
Maybe there's somethin' wrong
Kindness isn't real
Why is it knocking at your door?
When from it you will steal
My party isn't coming
My sisters gotten sick
I guess now I can’t have fun
Not like I ever did
I don’t want to see
The presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
But maybe some new makeup
And diet pills for me
Then maybe I'll be happy
If I'm pretty too
I doubt that that can happen
There’s nothing we can do
if what i got out of this poem is correct, then i love the way you pointed out how fake everything is - even our kindness to one another. the best thing is how you took a major holiday, always associated with joy and stripped it down to its bare truth. thats if i understood it correctly.
