Santa Claus you greedy thing
in your Coca Cola coat
selling terrible things
manufactured in sweat shops
I think it is a sin.
Ever notice how wealthy kids,
get lots and lots of things?
While all the other girls and boys
who have waited 365 days
find socks they didn't want
but needed all this time
Is it because I couldn’t afford
to sit on your lap that one time
and smile at you and your oversized elfer helper that I recognise from the shopping isle?
The man who stocks the socks
my mother wants so much,
if we only had the time
but all I ever hear from her
is “run along kids, we’ve got our bread
Santa will remember us
if we’re very good and go to bed”
Manufactured Apples
designed in California but made in China
Is there an app to prevent suicide?
suicide nets employed outside their building
as another employee accidentally falls
it will be cold this Christmas,
I always feel the cold
I hope it doesn’t snow
but no matter what I get from you
I will smile, a smile as if it were gold
poor boys always enjoy simple toys, even in the cold.
