Turn off the light

Christmas...
just around
the corner.
Gifts to
buy, graves
stood by.
Lost souls
remembered.
Cheery sigh.
Friends who
give, with
thankfulness.
Time for
fine wines
and food, to
fair. But
while you
sit n eat,
hungry dogs
lie sleeping
at your feet.
Turkey's
cooked,
nut cracker
suite...
just give a
thought of
what life
would feel
like, street
wise, sleepin
crumpled in
a cardboard
box. Door
ways, gates,
frozen face.
Who've lost
their faith
with solemn
grace...
Don't lose
sight of
these people's
plight...
tucked up in
your bed, shut
out the cold
at night...
No fixed abode,
no family to
love..could
you deal with
any of the
above? Christ-
mas is coming
the goose is
gettin fat,
please put a
penny in the
old mans hat.
If you haven't
got a penny,
a half penny
will do..if
you haven't
got a half
penny....
then 'God
bless you.'
Celebrate
by all means,
raise you
glass for good
cheer.. give
generously
to the man,
woman or child.
Turn off the
lights, shut
out the cold.
Will that
damp wet box
keep him/her
warm tonight?
