Santa
flew over the town
Gifts
filling all his pockets
He was
riding on a drone
And
stuffing presents into rockets.

flew over Helmand
And
blew up a family
Said
"Oops, that didn't go as planned, perhaps"
And
delivered a little homily.

must've had bad thoughts sometimes
Or
they might have had them in future
So
kids remember to thank your Santa Claus
Banish
evil from your nature."

Santa
flew over Yemen
Blew a
wedding to pieces
Hovered
over the blood and screams
Pondering
hits and misses.
"They'd
have had terrorist kids" he said
Shaking
his head so sadly
"So
I had to kill them now
But it
was done so badly.
"There's
an artistry to killing," he said
"As
beautiful as the sun and rain,
I must
be losing my touch
So for
practice I'll do it again. "

Destroying
what he was able
Bombed

And

"It's
a tale of wrong and right
I'm
right so they must be wrong
Over
the wrecks of shattered lives
I sing
my little song."

Claus, he's your guy
For
gifts right to your home and heath
And

Is a

So

Do as
he wants you to
And
don't you dare have second thoughts
'Cause
Santa will come for you.

ReplyDeleteBill,
ReplyDeleteWell my friend, it is almost the new year here at my apartment. I hope you are well and that you get back to writing soon. I miss your stories, fiction and non-fiction. You have a wonderful gift as a story teller.
I wish you and yours the very best for the new year.
Stay safe old friend. Not to imply you are old, nope, that is me, but I do count you as a friend.
