Giving and Wanting

This was one of my poems I wrote when I 20 - I was thinking a lot about Christmas and what happens at that time of the year. What does it really entail/mean? Enjoy:

Giving and Wanting:

Christmas is the time
For laughter and frolics.
Family, tears and joy.
All these are no crime,
Unless you really don't care
And are a modern day Scrooge!

Parties galore - Fancy dress -
Kinky Santas and weird trees.
All serve a good cause
And never make a mess.
Giving to all - nothing in return,
Wanting to help prevent suffering.

What do you want this year?
Something different to fill the stocking,
Hang it up and expect a suprise -
A good one that is! Have no fear.
Give to all - spread good love,
You'll feel better that's for sure.

Wanting - all treasures on earth.
Not giving a damn about anything.
What you need is a hard kick
Up the backside - straight into the hearth!
Give generously this Christmas -
There are people who aren't like us.
They desire everything - love, warmth and comfort.
Don't be a Scrooge - please give, don't take.
