Winter

This Christmas when you look around, you see the sights and hear the sounds

The flashing lights that spark and glow, The homeless people lay below

The decorations in the shops, Entice us in and make us stop

We spend our cash and more besides, Just because we can’t decide

This for her and that for him, And one for me thats not a sin

The cold will bite as darkness falls, And we all leave the busy malls

Others drink and get merry, On alcohol and juice of berry

But some will sleep where we once walked, Whilst others they just pop more corks

The different worlds, stretch far apart, The roaring fire will warm our hearts

The roads will freeze and ice will form, the question is are we all really warm?

The answer lies out on the streets, under blankets, lay on seats

So whilst we celebrate with joy, The coming of a baby boy

Spare a thought for those who cannot, the ones that we have all forgot

You’ll see them everyday around, But most of them don’t make a sound

They sit and watch the world go by, The sit alone and wonder why

We maybe happy, we maybe sad, but I don’t really think we have it too bad
