[Poem] The 31 Carols of Christmas - Dickens

Christmas existed before Christmas

Saturnalia and Mithras

Christmas existed before what we conceive of 

As Christmas

A holiday that celebrated the birth

of The Desert Messiah

But

But

But

The mythology of a better world

A world where Samsurra or Satan 

Or the tyranny of the Demon Deceiver

Wrapped us up in our personal hells

That the mirage of banality the Skeptic bane

Made to only fantasize  that we could escape to a simulation

A world where 

Even only for a month

The promise of the New Testament

Of The Beatitudes

Of a Better World

Were True

And

In Some ways

Ironically

Christmas Is Real 

The Man Who Invented Christmas

Is Real

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

Is Real

Dickens

Im His Story of Three Ghosts scolding a Capitalist

For BEING a good Capitalist

And he listens

And actually gives a shit about humanity

That part sadly

Is most definitely fiction

And capitalists have been Capitalizing on Christmas

Ever since

But the spirit of the thing

A better world

It is real

Love it or hate it

Everyone in the world is touched by it

Every religion has created or adjusted their holidays

To capture or mirror that feeling

That very real magic

The Nightmare Before Christmas Skeleton Jack

Where we all laboratory our Tinsel

Boiling Toiling the Wonder

Of How

How

How

Do we make it real

Ironically

No Invisible Power can enslave us

If we dont have enough people willing to be assholes

To each other

Why cant every day be Christmas?

It can

I believe

Eventually

It will

Dickens saw it first

We literally just have to believe

And

I do

Emphasis on

Eventually

......

Very

Very

Very

Eventually
