Andreas Galambos
Season's greetings
Red velvet,
wreaths of green,
golden
spheres and twinkling light,
all colours
can be seen
in the
not-so-silent night!
Thick
beards worn by thin men
(the
adjectives may as well be swapped)
playing
Santa. In the gardens
the
lightings mutually being topped!
The air
tastes like mulled wine,
wafers and
cinnamon,
candied
apples smell divine -
Advent
season has begun.
With
Christmas carols you are fed,
and Jesus
child is for dessert!
We eat joy
like gingerbread,
the masses
make our stomachs hurt!
Peace and
love for all the nation,
the brain
is switched to "Christmas" mode
consumption
giving us temptation,
while
elsewhere bombs explode...
Will there
be a season cease-fire
and no
bombing legions?
Will the
daily funeral pyre
halt in all
war regions?
No deads on
Christmas Eve, please!
Cancel war
for just one day!
Tomorrow
you may end the peace -
you may
also maintain it all the way!
Please let
Christmas bombs stay numb -
and also in
Ramadan
and Rosh
Hashanah it were welcome,
Easter, Yom
Kippur and then
Christ
would finally have reason
to
celebrate his birthday!
Mankind
would end war season
and give
peace headway.
The mulled
wine would taste doubly good,
the wafers
tasted soft and sweet,
and
religion no more like blood!
