A gray day – cool, frost will come tonight. And in the coolness they arrange the scene, Just so during the waning light of day. A scene of Christmastime, wreaths and lights Adorn the doors and window frames. Wealth and solidarity, joy and love I see in them. They pose now before their work. The camera snaps, Their well-being so obviously displayed. In the future they will go each by each, Yet bound by such events A family they will forever be. Of that family I so record In these observations from afar. Now pray a grace protects them from the likes of me.

A gray day – cool, frost will come tonight. And in the coolness they arrange the scene, Just so during the waning light of day. A scene of Christmastime, wreaths and lights Adorn the doors and window frames. Wealth and solidarity, joy and love I see in them. They pose now before their work. The camera snaps, Their well-being so obviously displayed. In the future they will go each by each, Yet bound by such events A family they will forever be. Of that family I so record In these observations from afar. Now pray a grace protects them from the likes of me.
A comment on possible consequences of the divide between the haves and the have-nots.
