[it's A Cold December...] Poem by Shane Markie

[it's A Cold December...]

Its a cold December and there is reason to believe
The establishment wants the homeless dead
No fire no embers, each and all of us grieve

That bitter cold wind causing our bodies to seize
the people on a merry dance have been led
Its a cold December and there is reason to believe

That Jack Frost stalks the land looking for victims to seize
No food no water no shelter no bed
No fire no embers, each and all of us grieve

these people dying alone on a winter's eve
no compassion no charity no tears are shed
Its a cold December and there is reason to believe

We all go on with our lives like were so naive
winters wind so cold no blood is bled
No fire no embers, each and all of us grieve

common sense mocks us as death is hard to perceive
whatever happened to give us this day our daily bread
Its a cold December and there is reason to believe
No fire no embers, each and all of us grieve
