What Did You Get For Christmas?

So; What did you get for Christmas?
A 36" highest quality Samsung TV hey!?
Or the newest 4th generation iPad with retina display?
A great new laptop - most expensive of course!!
Or the stronger new iPhone 5, withstands maximum force!?

Everyone's got fancy gifts- the most expensive they could find,
But what about the more unfortunate folk;
Whom we seem to have become blind;
Blind to their cold winters out on the streets,
Blind to those with only the pair of shoes on their feet,
Blind to those who hide away in the dark,
Blind to those who sleep on the bench in the park,
Blind to those who spend Christmas alone,
Blind to those who didn't receive a brand new phone.
So now,
After Christmas,
After cheer and fun and games,
We need to be kind to the more unfortunate,
So they won't spend Christmas alone,
Again.

NB: inspired by Mr.Stink after watching the BBC production with my little sister.

Street Boy's Plea.

I'm the boy you walked right past, I'm sitting on the street. Staring dully, eyes cast downwards, Towards my mucky feet. Had no food, and had no drink- It's not like you would care.

Judgements

More and more people are getting hurt because of other people. People judge too harshly when they should realise they only know a persons appearance and name not the story behind either one of them.

Rat Race.

Cars screeching. Horns tooting. Men preaching. People looting. Siren wailing. Mobiles ringing. Robberies failing. Buskers singing. Music blaring. kids playing. Tunes sharing. Rubbish decaying.

Close To Paradise

I live in a place that's close to paradise. We get all the beauty, but we still have the vice. Many who visit, feel the need to remain. They love the sleaze but for the beauty they'll not abstain.

The City

A tower block, A wisp of smoke. Homeless people, Sometimes taking 'coke' Traffic jams, Polluted air. Everywhere you look, There's people there. Phones and iPods, All sorts of things.
