NOTE: A comment on modern day Christmas.*

The shepherds have left
And the wise men are on their way back home.

Jesus bounces from thing to thing,
And Mary and Joseph smile delight.

This family of three are naught
But for the Christmas visits
Of poor, rich, and angelic choir.

The world moves on
And even now chocolate bunnies hit the shelves.

Jesus sleeps,
Unknown and unwanted.
