Making Sense from a dollar Coming up Short of a rhyme

Doves feathers white as Christmas snow
Children laughing as spirits grow
Fasting for upcoming holiday feasts
Preparing a meal out of santa’s beasts
Worshipping a non existing hero
Reducing children’s will to zero
Our past disappoints our future kind
Forgotten promises past selves blind
Another year weakens our resolve
As a new decade prepares a soul to evolve
Wasting away our minds to their lies
In our own backyards weak and innocent cries
Broken families holidays past
A forgotten conflict will outlast
Loves greatest gift locked away no key
Looking in wrong places a lover will flee
Counting to infinity losing a battle of wits
A man may turn away but he will not call quits
