Twas the night before Christmas 2011 Poem

Twas the month before Christmas, when all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying nor taking a stand.

The progressives had hidden the reason for Christmas

Political correctness, multicultural sickness.

About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings, best to concentrate on Bling

December 25th is just a 'Holiday.'

Forget your cultural roots these modern progressives say.

When out at the mall there arose such a clatter

Pepper spray you neighbor, need the sale item so no matter

CD’s from Lady Gaga and Miley, an X BOX, an I-Pod

Something was changing, besmirching the word of GOD!

Retailers promote Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Al Franken & Jane Fonda.

WalMart will close not at all in your town

selling cheap Chinese goods with a false price roll down

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears

You won't hear the word Christmas; it just disappears

Political correctness and Multiculturalism matter

more than the success of Jude-Christian culture they now shred and tatter

Now Feinstein, Forget Einstein, Now Pelosi, Much Sharpton,

On Alinsky , on Reid, organizer Obama and Clinton!

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter

Pass this Bill now, to see if the changes 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, thru apathy went unguarded.

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!

Hope & Change.

Change is the way of the world. Change can be a source of hope, or of despair. What is not good may be made better, or Vice versa.  Change is usually a source of anxiety, for what we love today may be gone tomorrow! We study history to remember the past so that we may preserve all that is good. We maintain our values in our collective memory so that what we cherish may flourish yet again and again to future generations. What to change, what to preserve? What to let go of and what to hold on to—these are matters requiring pragmatism, serious knowledge, a pure heart and motivations coupled with  great judgment. Hope is not a policy! Change (Policy) can be for better or worse, as we are certainly seeing now. May GOD Bless the United States of America!
