Christmas Tree

Christmas tree oh Christmas tree, I wish with all my might

All I see on the television, is deceitfulness and fights

Why can't people get along, not only now, but throughout the year

Why does there have to be so much unrest and not to, peacefulness adhere

Why does there have to be so violence and abuse, against one's fellow man

Can't there be the opposite of that, an accord or master plan

Can't the very rich help the very poor, so much poverty in this world

They don't have to give up their wealth, a little heart could be unfurled

When is enough wealth enough, does the greed go on forever

What about the welfare of mankind, could that be a sincere endeavor

Christmas, oh so serene and special, such a magical time of year

Wish there wasn't so much strife, does that ring loud and clear

So it's the night before Christmas and in my bed, blankets in a heap

Tossing and turning so restless, it's so hard to fall to sleep

So many world problems on my young mind and what there lies ahead

Wishing for less greed and conflict and, world-peace instead

You see I'm in my teens and I volunteer and try to give, a helping hand

And I have two sibs, one older one younger, and they don't understand

But the calmness and peacefulness of Christmas morning, it is such a magical thing

Wish there wasn't so much hunger and less strife and wonder, what will the new year bring
