call me the grinch
i like how he thinks
christmas is all about the material things
they cut down the trees, there’s excessive use of energy
they’re lighting up their homes with fairy lights and LEDs
oh so satisfying to the eye
but unfortunately, the planet dies…
season is over, so all the lights come down
everyone is posting now
how are we supposed to know you enjoyed christmas if it wasn’t posted about?
extravagant displays, too much paper waste
opening up the packaging just to throw it all away…
so much damage, weeks ahead you’re already planning,
all the things you’re buying
children around the world are dying, whilst you stress about not getting the latest “must-have items”
to me, christmas highlights the socioeconomic divide
some are choosing between having presents or keeping on the lights
there are struggling parents that just don’t want to say no to their child
everything is so much more bleak when the lights go out
some pockets left full, many left empty
everything was light, but the debt was heavy
now it’s january,
christmas only made you happy temporarily
now i get why they said “tis the season to be jolly”
people are happy with getting and giving gifts when spending all their money,
but when it’s all gone nothing is funny…
piled up bills, tired, and depressed
then they sell you a coffee,
it’s a joke…
what they meant was “tis the season to be broke”
so honestly i don’t mind if you call me the grinch,
i like how he thinks
he was right…
christmas was all about the material things
