I've been pretty good this year and was wondering if you could grant my Christmas wish! See, there was once this guy named Jesus and he was super cool. He was the kinda guy who would sit with the nerds at lunch time in high school cause no one else would. People loved him, but others hated him. They were afraid of his altruism and shining divinity. Kinda like Ghandi but with better hair...Sorry, getting sidetracked! Anyway, this guy Jesus was awesome and people have written and read about him for centuries.
But today I was very much disturbed. I was waiting for a friend to pick me up from Market East (a train station/mall) when a young man started to attack his family! He was screaming about not having enough money for what the very skinny but beautiful lady wanted to buy her kids (who were with her, one by her side, one slung upon her breasts) and that she was a stupid insert swear word.
But today I was very much disturbed.
Where was Jesus in any of this? The guy was pulled away by security and the lady went back home. Safe for the moment I guess. I know everyone has their attitudinal shortcomings, and some to the extent that they become abusive. But help me Santa, can you please give this world a good will roofie that you mix in with the acid rain? Like maybe all the world could start having positive feelings towards each other and stop acting like pack rats guarding their goods...?
So really that's all I want for the early celebration of the birth of super cool Jesus. I want families to be together, for their bread/protein winners to feel up to the task of at least minimally providing for their families. I know there are a lot of liberals out there that want to be given hand outs left and right and our not a real American but actually a Kenyan Muslim president is trying to act like Robin Hood or something, but if you, Santa, give us the stuff we want, it's okay! Cause you are Santa! You are much better equipped at foreign policy than some dude who went to Harvard. So rev up St. Nick! Help our destitute and depressed, Lord knows Congress won't.
