Turkey & Stuffing

«peace on earth» is blinking
to draw them through the door
in this land of plenty
always wanting more
staring through the window
at things I can’t afford
what they are selling
I’m not buying
the promise of something more
hear the voices singing
«love your fellow man»
as the bells are ringing
«get it while you can»
searching for an echo
of where this all began
from season’s greetings
something is missing
the promise of something more
oh so warm and cozy
‘neath the tinsel ice
the giving and the getting
oh it feels so nice
there’s nothing I’m forgetting
I’m checking my list twice
turkey and stuffing
and children laughing
sizing up the score
neatly wrapped
‘neath the tree
the promise of something more
