christmas of poor

In an older time on christmas day
sat poor souls ,no words to say
no food at the table ,no tree to enjoy
no bright shiny presents for girl or boy
tinsel or turkey never been seen
from the eyes of a poor man 
what did christmas mean
he prayed to the lord
while the rich sat and ate 
and begged for the poor,do not forget

In this day and age,lands still sit in greed
while the poor man and family 
scrape up what they need
so hundreds of years
souls still suffer the pain
spare a thought at your dinner
and what you have gained
be grateful for love on that family day
food on the table ,all presents that lay
give the poor as you can
and help them to live
a present and food is what you can give
make their christmas a merry one all through the year
then the land of the greedy  will shed no more tears !
