Christmas Parody

sparkling clutter; more of it;
to consume – we deem it essential
while the ones
with shiny shoes and thick cigars
chuckle softly into their cognac glasses,
golden bellies wobbling.

” a christmas tree
doesn’t fit into a cardboard home”,
you say
and wander off
to find warmth
in a selfish world.

maybe one day
we will go back
to caring…
until then,
let’s close our eyes
and pretend
that everything
is a-okay.
