Merry Christmas Poem

> Twas the month before Christmas 
> When all through our land, 
> Not a Christian was praying 
> Nor taking a stand. 
> 
> Why the PC Police 
> had taken away, 
> The reason for Christmas - 
> no one could say. 
> 
> The children were told 
> by their schools not to sing, 
> About Shepherds and Wise Men 
> and Angels and things. 
> 
> "It might hurt people's feelings," 
> the teachers would say, 
> "December 25th 
> is just a "Holiday". 
> 
> Yet the shoppers were ready 
> with cash, checks, and credit 
> Pushing folks down 
> to the floor just to get it! 
> 
> CDs from Madonna, 
> an X BOX and I-pod 
> Something was changing, 
> something quite odd! 
> 
> Retailers promoted 
> Ramadan and Kwanzaa 
> In hopes to sell books by 
> Franken & Fonda. 
> 
> As Targets were hanging 
> their trees upside down 
> At Lowe's the word Christmas - 
> was no where to be found. 
> 
> At K-Mart and Staples 
> and Penny's and Sears 
> You won't hear the word Christmas; 
> it won't touch your ears. 
> 
> Inclusive, sensitive, 
> Di-ver-si-ty 
> Are words that were used 
> to intimidate me. 
> 
> Now Daschle, Now Darden, 
> Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen 
> On Boxer, on Rather, 
> on Kerry, on Clinton! 
> 
> At the top of the Senate, 
> there arose such a clatter 
> To eliminate Jesus, 
> in all public matter. 
> 
> And we spoke not a word, 
> as they took away our faith 
> Forbidden to speak 
> of salvation and grace. 
> 
> The true Gift of Christmas 
> was exchanged and discarded 
> The reason for the season, 
> stopped before it started. 
> 
> So as you celebrate "Winter Break" 
> under your "Dream Tree" 
> Sipping your Starbucks, 
> listen to me. 
> 
> Choose your words carefully, 
> choose what you say 
> Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, 
> not Happy Holiday! 
>
