The Time Draws Near for Flowering

When that time

Of Christmas boxes

Once a heartfelt day 

Of giving

Taking steps

In bringing goodwill

To those struggling

For a living

 

Not standing by 

Indifferently

Watching failure 

In its plight

Aid those in strife

To fight for life

On a wintry 

Silent night

Empires of humanity

Covert closely

Spoils of war

Ensuring grips

On castle keeps

Deceitful ways

Of grabbing more

That now defines the law

Story based on Wenceslas

Footnote

Songs are so much more than sound

Each word’s sincere proposing

To keep a lookout filled with promises

Not judging homelessness with loathing
