The Gripes That Stole Christmas

By Bojenn Bonnie Jennings

A work in progress

Began, Christmas 2012









The gripes that stole Christmas,

Shouted all through our land

All people were silent

Including the Carol band



The stockings were hung

By chimneys with care

In hopes of the gripes would, SHUT UP!

With their wicked Christmas dares



And I in rebellion

With eggnog in the tub

Settled not in snug

For their fake "HAPPY HOLIDAY" hugs



While shopping at the mall mulling and frumping

And watching others snarling and melancholy

Noticed the void of spirit filled voices

Singing of the historical birth of our savior.



Being born in a stable so lowly and humble

Offering us hope when misguided

Then, suddenly from the crowd I heard...

...Someone singing?



Yes!... ?.. No... O... (sigh)

Only teenagers rapping ...

Then, disturbed at this plight,

That tv media stole man's beacon light.

All for the sake of "human rights."



Then a child from out of nowhere came

Tugged on my garment smiling my name

"Though our hearts break with too many changes

He hasn't gone. No, he's simply preparing."



Then she called called out his names;

Boldly declaring:

Now Yeshua

Now Jehovah

Now Jesus

Now God



Onward believers

To the top of the world!

Now call them

And tell them about my love



And promise I'm soon coming

And don't deny

For soon I will see you

Now, don't you cry



Then the little child hugged me

And disappeared from my sight

But the twinkle she left beaming from her eyes

And a joy over took me

As then I smiled

And shouted MERRY CHRISTMAS!

And saluted good night.
