Christmas Poem
THE EDGE OF CHANGE
CHRISTMAS
2014
This
Christmas
I
am getting edgy
About
a lot of things
Putin
and the Ukraine
Harper
and Trudeau
The
Falling price of oil
And
the Canadian dollar
Isil,
Barbarous and uncivilized
Israel
and the Palestinians
Australia
and the Chinese
Canada
and the Aboriginals
The
U.S. and the Blacks
And
the window on Climate Change.
But
this I know for sure
We
will celebrate this Christmas
With
trees and lights and carols
Turkey
and the trimmings
And
gifts, many gifts
Of
laughter, warmth and love.
Margaret
