Joseph traveled to Bethlehem
To be counted and pay the king.
And Mary bore a child there,
God's repentance offering.
Three men brought gifts unto that child,
Celebrating a savior's birth,
God's great gift to all mankind,
A present for the entire Earth.
But what did we make of this time?
What un-Godly catastrophe?
Baubles, trinkets, costly artifacts,
Unbridled the day with our worst greed.
As you trek to your favorite mall,
With your credit cards in hand,
You may not believe that savior was born
To give you another chance.
But really what are you doing there?
Trying to buy someone's smile
That may last a day or two,
But will not last but a short while?
Believe or not, it is your choice.
The things you buy make others rich
Who profits on your spirits bright.
Please, Oh please, remember this.
