It's Beginning
I was talking to several friends yesterday
and we were all beginning to decorate,
much earlier than usual.
My arm chair psychology?
We all need the happy.
We desperately need to immerse ourselves
in the celebration of peace and love
instead of the anger, hatred and despair
surrounding us due to one evil demagogue,
bathed in bigoted stupidity,
who thumbs up his best buddy,
an assassin, who is intent on
bringing down our democracy.
Bring on the trees, the holly
the cookies, stockings,
and twinkle lights.
Surround us with families and friends we love.
Share the carols, the hymns and
shout it from the rooftops
that we yearn for peace, equality, kindness and love.
