Twas the Night before Christmas
and all cross the land
every creature is stirring
all taking a stand
protesters are angry
laying down in the streets
I can’t breathe
black lives matter
set to a choreographed beat
rocks through the window
flames through the roof
protesters chanting
hands up don’t shoot
2 cops murdered
pigs with wings
a killer’s declaration
Twitter is king
social discontent
civil unrest
so much anger
freedom put to the test
the mayor of new york
social pariah
police union angry
cops want him fired
then there’s north Korea
and Kim Jong Un
does he not own a mirror
does he not know he’s dumb
dictator is chubby
his hair a joke
country’s a time warp
his internet’s broke
cyber hacking,
malware galore
the guardians of peace
north Korea’s a whore
the Interview’s banned
it’s lead story on news
president talks it up
is it a marketing ruse?
credit card fraud
tax payer panic
black friday cyber monday
it’s all consumer static
Sharpton and Obama
Hillary and Bush
Republicans – democrats
it’s all a political push
Gas prices are down
interest rates on the rise
consumer confidence dwindling
USA still brimming with pride
So long 2014
bring on the new
hope springs eternal
As we kneel down in the pew
Life’s crazy
embrace it at last
this is the year
going to sell out fast
