The Night After Christmas

Text Box: ‘Twas the night after Christmas and here in my house I sit writing poems using keyboard and mouse There are so many things that I’m wanting to say As the final few days of the year pass away It’s been quite a year for the home we call Earth Perhaps it is time for our planet’s rebirth The changes we see may be giving a clue Tsunamis and earthquakes and hurricanes too There’s fighting and starving and dying galore As millions of people reach out and say ‘more’ It seems like the suffering will not be done And everywhere, everywhere, people shoot guns The eight richest countries are making the arms And selling them outright for trinkets and charms The change is quite simple, and we have begun More schooling and health care instead of more guns The world is our matrix and we all create The feelings of love and the feelings of hate And though all the logic may seem quite complex The thoughts in our mind are what lead us to next We must remove hatred and anger and fear For they are the feelings that cause us to veer And our only task is to carry the light To keep moving forward and do what is right It all seems so simple right here in my chair We feel the same feelings and breathe the same air If we are all one there is no need to fight I wonder when everyone will see the light I know I’m not different in wanting a change And wishing for world peace is not really strange To make all these changes we must take a chance And caring for others is how we advance The masses on Earth are beginning to see That I am like you and you are like me We each have our feelings, beliefs and tradition And being unique is our blessing and mission Our year-ending bash is about to arrive The world is in trouble and we’re still alive The New Year is here and we each play a part For light work is changing the world with your heart © Copyright Glenn Stewart Coles, 2005 First Published December 26, 2005
