Reality Bites by Lil
It's Christmas once again,
Time for Peace on Earth.
For all to enjoy the Happiness
And drinking with some Mirth.
Lay down your guns in battle.
Love your fellow Man.
Just mind the splinter bombs
And avoid snipers if you can.
Don't raise your angry fist.
Put down the sharpened knife.
Hush, don't wake the kids
As you beat your frightened wife.
Think of those alone,
The widowed and forlorn.
The desperate and suicidal
Wishing never to be born.
No matter your beliefs,
If I could have a wish –
It would be to take away the pain,
And heal all with just a kiss.
