"santas" poems
Oh how I hate this time of year, with the stupid songs and holiday cheer... Annoying bell ringers outside the store, and the tacky wreaths hanging on the door. Cardboard calendars filled with waxy treats, ice and snow making death traps of streets. Frazzled parents spending more then they should on entitled kids who are far from good. Fake smiles & wishes in the "spirit" of it all, the empty shelves- the crowds at the mall. The hour long line to see Santa the phony who falsely promises an x-box or a pony. Having to gather with family who annoy, gifting another cheap Chinese-made toy. Fire hazards strung with tinsel and lights, tensions leading to fun Christmas fights! Secret Santas- holiday parties for work- ugly sweaters making you look like a **** The stress of having an enormous list and a tiny budget just makes me ****** No, nothing seems jolly or merry or bright... Oh how I can't wait till post-Christmas night!

Santa sat and looked about the mess that lay before him "How will I get these gifts all wrapped and gone by Christmas morning?" The workshop looked as though it had been hit by a Tornado But instead it was all the fault of *** he brought back from Tobago A little shot in the elves egg nog would make them all work faster But, as he saw the end result was short of a disaster The more they drank the more they all got up and danced on tables And in the end elf Juniper was left wearing only labels She looked quite good despite her age, she was just about six thirty And what she did with candy canes...well, you can say it was quite ***** The paper stretched from room to room, many miles were unravelled Santa looked at the mess again, and thought "It's high time that I travelled" He left the North to make a trip to hire cleaning staff But , turned the reindeer right around, because he knew they'd laugh How do you tell a person that you are about to hire That the mess that they will soon clean up, is because my elves were wired Santa thought that magic would be just the way to go He would use it to clean up the mess, and nobody would know The only problem with this stunt is that magic has a rule He can only use it Christmas eve, it was not his private tool The toys were strewn everywhere, and most were broke or nicked He would have to wake the elves all up and to start things getting fixed So, if you wake up Christmas morn and there is nought beneath your tree Don't worry, Santas late, he should be there by three He left a little late this year, but he will be by real quick And he swore to never serve elves ***** or his name is not Saint Nick!

I used to believe in Santa Claus So jolly and red and so fat. I was a big fan of Christmas No holiday was as great as that. Not Easter with those funny eggs Not even Halloween with candy. No, that thing about tons of presents To me, that was fine and dandy. And we even got two weeks off Nobody had to go to school. Then coming back with new clothes That made me look so cool. Nothing compared to Santa Claus The flying reindeer, ** ** guy. I used to try to stay awake So I could see him flying by. It was such a great reality To know that dude was up there In the frozen north pole air Making stuff for kids everywhere. That was the world I reveled in, Where everyone celebrated. I knew I was not the only one Who sat by the tree and waited. I don’t remember being confused By the Santas in department stores. Santa had lots of helpers, I knew, And this guy was just one more. I did have a problem with chimneys And a bag that he could lift That carried things for all us kids; Every size and type of gift. But kids have a way of helping folks To maintain a pretty fantasy. We just ignored things that didn’t fit. We went about it very easily. But one day, and I remember when I got let in on the confidence game And Santa Claus was quickly gone, Never to come to our house again. The sad thing is nothing can ever Replace the joy I once felt. Santa was not supposed to be Like Frosty and too quickly melt. So, I have to make do with having The grownup toys I buy myself. Oh, how I could use a flying sled And the help of a brace of elf.

Sometimes I wonder If shooting stars Are the santas to our wishes Or just punishment to men. Shooting stars,so seldom, so rare, Are believed to be the core of our prayers. However, whenever a star passes by, A man on earth is judged by the stars.

Abstractedly Complex
Star on the top of a Christmas tree. Lights all around are sparkling. Smells of hot cocoa and cinnamon too, all of this leading my mind straight to you. Love in the air, so hard to resist. Singing of songs is so hard to miss, and being so close to the people you love, makes everything seem to glow from above. But, nothing's the same without peppermint canes, or chocolate Santas, or a warm fireplace, or the breath of a child as they play in the snow,as they're building a snowman, and their eyes start to glow. Then    night comes       so soon       and the  house  is so quiet, then children go to bed,   though they're  really so        excited.

A la Humanidad ELENA RAMOS Ciertamente todos buscamos lo mismo Poder, Dinero y Fama Ser mejor para ser escuchados por todos Tener dinero para poder comprar a todos Y tener fama para ser reconocidos por todos No podemos pretender ser supremos ante civilizaciones a las cuales somos exactamente iguales Tenemos rasgos distintos, dialectos variados pero Al final somos iguales Esperamos un desastre para poder unirnos Uno en el cual tengamos miedo de morir y ser derrotados por fuerzas mayores Talvez debamos esperar ese fenómeno que cambie a la humanidad Algo que jamás hayan podido ver nuestros ojos Un desastre natural que acabe con todos Una plaga que nos destruya lentamente En la humanidad hay mucha corrupción, hay desastres creados por nosotros Hay guerras santas, hay asesinatos planeados Porque? Por poder, dinero y fama Somos invencibles en nuestras mentes, pero que pasa si afuera de nuestra visión Hay algo más grande que todos juntos Una fuerza invencible, un poder sobrenatural que en cualquier momento decida destruirnos Talvez sea suerte o sea el destino Si decidimos separarnos a diario Si creamos más violencia Si hay más separación de naciones Si hay más hambre Más infestaciones, más personas mueren a diario Es inevitable es un proceso natural del hombre Pero, aceptémoslo más muertes son causadas por nosotros mismos. Soy tan humana como todos ustedes Es un acto de paz y un pacto de unidad La raza humana pierde su escencia De ser capaces de analizar y ser luz Somos ciegos y egoístas Un ego que saciar Un espíritu que alimentar A base de mentiras, engaños y sacrificios Ser pobre o rico Tener todo o  ser nada Ver morir pero no actuar Decidimos sentarnos a ver lo que pasa Pero  porque no somos parte del espectáculo mejor? Organizaciones a diario luchan por cambiar el mundo Fotos de acontecimientos que impactan un rato Después son desechos que olvidamos por lujos y mentiras El humano se convirtió en el monstruo más grande que deberíamos temer Esa sencillez de aceptar el fracaso Inhumanos ante las crisis de los demás Muertes por ganas de poder Muertes por religión y creencias Si crees en algo, créelo Pero Piensa si va en contra de ti y de tu generación Dos bandos iguales peleando por ser más notorio Sangre derramada para demostrar grandeza Lujos para despilfarrar Lugares hermosos que son destrozados El hábitat humana dejo de ser para los humanos Nos convertimos en cosas materialistas Sin propósitos de vida Luchemos para ser iguales Sin distinción de raza, **** religión, política... Constantemente decimos eso Pero realmente se cumple? Si eres humano y lees esto Piensa que estás haciendo en este momento Estas cambiado para bien a tu humanidad?

Forget The Cookie Give me Some Holiday Nookie
Gunmetal Christmas socks pulled past the calf like go-getter high school girls "rocking" rainbow ******** below the belt loops. I never went a day without seeing short shorts and socks replacing pant legs with a gap at the knee to breathe. Downplay X-mas with black jeans thinning 'bove the knees. I guess it's payback for all the surly Santas paid per nervous child lapdance that got ******* out of $1.50 because I walked away. For all the St. Nicks breathing pressurized bourbon on little kids' wishlists. Thread through a burgundy belt frayed by the buckle teeth. And I'm sure this is really burgundy, probably the only burgundy I never questioned much, unless the manufacturer's lying to me. Unless it's really a flexible case for wild circuits and tiny open mics in bars going on 'round the clock. Not just Tuesdays. Fiber optics around my waist transmitting telephone transmissions and cybernetic **** monitoring my hips and what my **** does. And my thoughts; they're ******* taking my thoughts. Precious poetry lines lost to the scarcity of pens in my car, when I'll shave next, whether or not I want a burr grinder, if I'll break glasses at work and have to drink the glitters like iced tea from the hardwood floor. Maybe I'll cut my gums. Maybe my tongue'll become a chandelier butterfly and carry me to Coudersport or Elmira or Nowhere to watch pregnant teenagers push flat-tire shopping carts heroin-shaking in the newborn section. Their babies are spitting up Gerber plans Mom has never considered. Baby's just a rock rolling down the birth canal that may someday end up a boulder in a state park.

HANDMADE CHRISTMAS Do you remember back when Christmas was making things Out of stiff colored paper Like chains of slim paper rings That were so long we took them And wrapped the a few times Around the tree as pretty trim? We made angels and snowflakes From something called shirt boards; Cutouts covered with aluminum foil. They didn’t need extension cords. And Mom showed us how to starch String we dyed. We wrapped it Around some inflated balloons. When each dried, we popped it. We made reindeers and Santas Our of wooden clothespins With pipe cleaner antlers or Cotton beards for Santa’s chin. Mom dyed an old sheet green For under the Christmas tree. Prettier than the store-bought kind It has always seemed to me. In school we made Gifts too Things knitted or made of clay To give to Mom wrapped up With great pride on Christmas Day. And that wrapping paper was Was all Christmas color tissue. It was inexpensive to buy, so Using a lot was not an issue. Some gifts were appreciated Some maybe not as much But in every case, we were For the most part very touched. You knew for sure just by looking What care and love went into The handmade presents that were Made totally and especially for you. Brent Kincaid 12/12/2015

HANDMADE CHRISTMAS
All day and all night, No darkness nor light. a world without nothing seems interesting enough, with no light at night it gets kinda rough. we fight for our food and freedom too, We fight for our friends and family we do. every day a person dies, Being filled in with these horrible lies. what did we do to deserve this? were we bad on Santas naughty list? its time my friends its time we are Free, its time to let go and Be who we be. lets stand together and face them all, for cowards in the end Will always fall.

What I want for christmas dont fit under that tree. Cause it dont involve to much shopping. Just very little clothes a warm bed and you and me. You can warp yourself in a bow. Well share some special holiday cheer. Over the bed is the perfect place to hang the misletoe. What I want my dear ya dont have to buy. Have Ibeen good all year. Well honey I did try. Why miss claus I never knew you shopped at fredricks of holywood. Spike that eggnog turn down the lights. we'll try to keep it a silent night but I dont think we could. Baby I want the same pressent every year and for that matter why not every day? Im just in the holiday spirt what can I say. Yes from santa I expect a lump of coal. Makes me wonder why santas so jolly. Hey I wonder do they gotta strip club at the north pole? What I want for christmas is a bottle of wild turkey and you in my bed. Yes it's more like the ******* mansion. Than sugar blums dancing in my head. So my wish for this christmas to yours and you. keep these holidays happy instead of crazy pulling out your hair listening to Elvis singin bout a christmas so blue.

Mujeres heridas
Amid the millions of snow drops falling from the sky, she awaits reaching home to be with her family on Christmas Day. Her thick coat of fur kept her warm, and her excited beating heart comfy. She turns the key and swings the door open, letting a draft in. "I'm home!" She shouts and happy screams erupt, along with the pitter patter of feet as people run towards the door. She is greeted by her family, with many hugs and kisses. She hangs the coat up and joins them at the dinner table. A candle-lit feast with delicious roasted turkey and meat of all kinds. She notes that there are at least three different kinds of cheese and an assortment of vegetables and also colorful desserts. The atmosphere was lovely, and laughter filled the air. She ate slowly, relishing every flavor of goodness she tasted. The plates that adorned the table were soon empty in a matter of hours and bellies were filled. She sat in front of the tree, with beautiful lights in neon colors, and snow angels on every other branch. This was true happiness to her. Shiny baubles and adorable Santas also put a smile on her face. But, the star. Oh that star. It reigned supreme at the crown of the tree, brighter than any other star she'd seen in the night sky. It fueled the Christmas spirit in the house, banishing all negativity. She looked at the foot of the tree, and there they were, carefully wrapped in the prettiest wrapping paper one could ever find. There were designs of the world map, and some others of animals and mythical creatures. They made presents extra special. The family soon joined her, delicately removing the wrappers of their presents. Each sent shivers down spines and initiated a mass hugging session and gratitude. She watched as everyone thanked each other for their lovely gifts, before heading back to the hall to continue with celebrations. She realized that she hasn't yet opened hers and picked up the remaining presents with her name in cursive. Slowly opening each of them, she folded the wrapping papers neatly in a pile beside her. Every one of the presents was specially chosen for her: a book on the universe, a unicorn statue, a top adorned with tiny suns and the most precious of all, a book of photos of the ocean. She loved them, and went to embrace her family members again and thanked them dearly for the presents. She loved Christmas, but it was ending soon. She said a silent prayer, thanked the stars in her heart and started taking the decorations down one by one. (lunarlullubies)

Christmas comes and goes, There is a lot of buying and selling, Malls become alive with Santas, reindeers and elves. They say Jesus was born around this time, Thus, the birth of hope, love and some say Son of God. We are funny like that, We equate the celebration of the birth of goodness with Spending as much money as possible, And God help those who don’t have enough. We teach our kids about gift giving and asking for the best And behaving themselves for the ultimate aim of some present at the end of the year. It doesn’t matter I guess in the end, We’re human and allowed to portray our weakness and ignorance After all, who cares if, Down the block, in the ghetto, the baby is still crying, Why even the three kings, are still just watching. Some higher power thought we’d make a difference He even sent his angels to help But we as humans and prone to err Have taken a humble birth and have turned it into a billion dollar money making industry, Churches abound with seemingly happy people While the baby in the manger, still stays crying.

The Morning of Christmas
Siento el peso de este mundo en mi cabeza. Y no sé si en algún momento de mi vida fui. Si viviera yo en una edad oscura, si obedeciera yo a un ínclito rey, a una palabra suprema, al poder de dios, entonces yo caminaría en el relieve bajo el mar. Y sería perfecta porque existiría para pelear guerras santas y salvar vírgenes raptadas. Sería perfecta y no tendría miedo. Estaría yo forjada desde el principio con una lanza en la mano y el yelmo en la cabeza. Sería un caballero de ilustres tierras, de ilustres logros. Los tiempos modernos, sin embargo, me han despojado de un destino glorioso. No tengo nada más que incertidumbre. No tengo un nombre que sea mío. No poseo títulos ni tesoros ganados. No soy nada más que una armadura vacía. Y el paso del tiempo me oxida las articulaciones. ¿A dónde pueden huir las almas guerreras? ¿A qué rey acudo para prometerle fidelidad? No hay aspiraciones nobles en este mundo. Me tengo que armar de pedazos rotos, de rituales inútiles. Mi escudo es un libro de hojas muy blandas. Mi vestido es de hilos muy ligeros. Jamás he visto vestíbulos de grandes castillo, jamás he añorado el amor de una hermosa señora, jamás he clavado flechas en el corazón de un dragón. ¿Qué soy entonces? Si no soy lo que quiero, ¿qué es esto que respira y que duele y que se lastima los nudillos de las manos de tanto golpear las puertas? Las puertas no abren. No sé si algún día abrirán. Mis sueños están formados con la intención de atravesarlas. Mis manos están hechas para esgrimar famosas espadas. Y no tengo nada. Y no tengo nada que no sea invisible. La armadura que soy yo no es nada más que la promesa de la armadura. Y mi voz metálica es la promesa de la voz. Y no sé yo si soy.

La armadura vacía.
Siento el peso de este mundo en mi cabeza. Y no sé si en algún momento de mi vida fui. Si viviera yo en una edad oscura, si obedeciera yo a un ínclito rey, a una palabra suprema, al poder de dios, entonces yo caminaría en el relieve bajo el mar. Y sería perfecta porque existiría para pelear guerras santas y salvar vírgenes raptadas. Sería perfecta y no tendría miedo. Estaría yo forjada desde el principio con una lanza en la mano y el yelmo en la cabeza. Sería un caballero de ilustres tierras, de ilustres logros. Los tiempos modernos, sin embargo, me han despojado de un destino glorioso. No tengo nada más que incertidumbre. No tengo un nombre que sea mío. No poseo títulos ni tesoros ganados. No soy nada más que una armadura vacía. Y el paso del tiempo me oxida las articulaciones. ¿A dónde pueden huir las almas guerreras? ¿A qué rey acudo para prometerle fidelidad? No hay aspiraciones nobles en este mundo. Me tengo que armar de pedazos rotos, de rituales inútiles. Mi escudo es un libro de hojas muy blandas. Mi vestido es de hilos muy ligeros.

2 Santas
They crush your dreams To better themselves. Given the credit Of Santas elves. They bar the windows, And they lock all the doors. They call the men deliquents, And they label women ****** Into this world we're thrown In a direction without our choice. Whats the point of speaking When you havent got a voice. They sit you row by row, And they all pretend to care. But as soon as they know your secret All they can do is stare. Art is for the artistans, And the music is for the gifted. Dont try, you'll never do it, Anything but keep you lifted. Before Im in the coffin And they hammer the last nail. I'll get out with good behavior, And then I'll go back to jail.

Jail
Se bebe el desayuno... Húmeda tierra de cementerio huele a sangre amada. Ciudad de invierno... La mordaz cruzada de una carreta que arrastrar parece una emoción de ayuno encadenada! Se quisiera tocar todas las puertas, y preguntar por no sé quién; y luego ver a los pobres, y, llorando quedos, dar pedacitos de pan fresco a todos. Y saquear a los ricos sus viñedos con las dos manos santas que a un golpe de luz volaron desclavadas de la Cruz! Pestaña matinal, no os levantéis! ¡El pan nuestro de cada día dánoslo, Señor...! Todos mis huesos son ajenos; yo talvez los robé! Yo vine a darme lo que acaso estuvo asignado para otro; y pienso que, si no hubiera nacido, otro pobre tomara este café! Yo soy un mal ladrón... A dónde iré! Y en esta hora fría, en que la tierra trasciende a polvo humano y es tan triste, quisiera yo tocar todas las puertas, y suplicar a no sé quién, perdón, y hacerle pedacitos de pan fresco aquí, en el horno de mi corazón...!
