PUSHING IT
We’ve heard of August/September
Being a Halloween to remember…
At least in stores
Who want to sell more,
Through timeliness dismembered!
–
Thanksgiving is barely mentioned,
Being Christian, not pagan convention…
But still are displayed,
In November anyway,
“Bell’s Spice” and turkey farm intentions.
–
Christmas sneaked up fast,
Before Halloween was passed…
More candy in rows
And holiday bows,
And pink tree iconoclasts.
–Jonathan Caswell
LET’S GIVE IT BACK! 🙂
A cultural battle ensued
When some folks no longer viewed…
Western Christianity
As the culture to be,
With Constantine’s influence imbued.
–
At the time of the burning Yule Log,
Pagan Druids were billed as top dog…
While Rome had all sorts
Of divine cohorts,
With many festivals looming out of the fog.
–
Why shouldn’t we give this “holiday” back to them,
It could not be called Christmas, then…
Some fertility rite
With debauchery all night,
If it would get rid of the anti-Christian phlegm.
–
But of course, that will never be,
Judging from past history…
The enemies of Christ
And the Jews, have their lights
To destroy things that they cannot see.
–
If someone can’t hoodwink a believer,
The next step is to openly deceive her…
Get the children to see
All things should be “P.C.”,
And pagans will convince more receivers.
–
Why should we follow a pagan emperor, anyway,
Emperor Constantine’s baptism was his dying day….
His Momma by her lights
Appointed tourist sites,
In The Holy Land that could help the Church pay.
–
Since December is for fertility,
True Christians have th’ability…
To chose a Day worth
His actual Birth,
To worship Him in humility.
–
I don’t suppose things will ever change,
Like the carols say, the world is still in chains…
The best we Believers can do
Is to stick with Whom is true,
And suffer for our allegiance to His Name.
