Its a time of year when bad ghosts are bold
Praying on the wronged and lonely
Undermining the abused
Ingratiating addictions
Gloating on the unlucky
Misdirecting the dispossessed
When in need good ghosts abound
Floating in an evanescent state
When minds are in need
They will appear
Battling for your good
Settling deep into my pillow
Presents are wrapped
The alarm is set
Christmas eve is passing
Dreams are stirring
Past times were good
Caution thrown to the wind
Countenance the excesses
Trivialised life balances
Is life not perfect
A ghost of the present arrives weighed down with self-doubt
Wearily it rests at my feet
Legs now restless and cold
My eyes begin to flicker
Ears open with intent
" Viral incandescence haunting the weak and poor
Spreading disquiet and envy
Exploiting inequity and race
Setting one against another
Courage is sought
Repairing the balance
In search of thou caring will
And self-sacrifice"
A virtuous ghost gravitates to me
"The hands of life share the heavy weight on one’s shoulders
Knowledge engages the truths
Words open the mind
Exercise engenders the body
Fellowship lessons the pain"
A learned ghost of times to come brushes past my outstretched hand
"If able to support
Give time to others
Respect them all
Inspire to change"
A worldly ghost alights like a bird on my knee
"Spread good will to all creatures
Work against suffrage
Believe in your role
Seek the eco-goal"
Four ghosts now await my waking
They came in the anonymity of darkness
My eyes now laden, dreams confused
Which one will close my head on its way home?
My alarm bellows 'Its Christmas morning'
The house is quiet
My mind is alive
Who needs my help first?
So much to do
Another year is ending
Decide wisely thy moral standing
Help others whose ghosts are wanting
Reject the ghosts of your choosing
Belief in you, as you believe in others
