Hey Kids. There is No Such thing As Santa.

Or a tooth fairy
Or an easter bunny
No common courtesy
Just moral immunity
Never was
And never is
Lies become living myths
Living legends
In our midst
Stories of creatures
Or preachers, teach us
Stories of fiction
A poor predication
The kingdom never arrived
And never will
Here we are still
Bring me the proof
Documented text
A personal account
Of it ever being met
A believable story
One with an ending
We can relate to
We can associate
With the characters
Become the epilogue
Stepping from the night
Into the sinking fog
Sink it does
Lower into the dust
Go back to work
And rethink this joke
Relight this page
To read what you wrote
Not here to insult
This is not the place
Or proper venue
For a revolting revolt
It sickens
And gets sicker
Stay off the booze
I don’t even know her
And you want me to liquor
With my tongue?
With this fork
Or should we spoon
The table is set
Nothing to eat off
The plates
We often forget
Hunger strikes
Hungrier tomorrow
Irrespective of contrary belief
Show me the crook and ill bring you the thief
A concoction of lies is cooked
On empty stomachs our children feed

This is meant to hurt. Not just the targeted person, but yourself too, it would seem. I felt the sting as I read along, and the story is a sad one....no doubt about it. I've come to realize in life, the 'proof' is always there, sometimes it's just easier for us not to see it. Good poem, as always.
