(Write as Santa Claus explaining why you’re not getting what you want for Christmas this year)

WINK. WINK.

You want too much. You have enough.
It’s time to stop acquiring stuff.
You think you want it. Think again.
You’re sinking slowly in a fen,
a swamp of silly, useless things.
Wake up…. and live….. and spread your wings.
Soar above Earth, look down and see
the endless inequality.
You’re seeking happiness? It’s free!!!!!
It starts with you and not with me.
I don’t have a list. I don’t check it twice.
I don’t even care who’s naughty or nice.
It’s all a con, don’t play their game.
They want your money, it’s a shame:
the things that matter can’t be bought,
they spring from Kindness, Love and Thought.

It’s time to think; to stop; desist …. ,
because, Virginia, I don’t exist!
