a candle

Early Christmas morning under moonlight

Cold starving children look up at the sight

No Chocolates, toys or presents full

There’ll be no Surprises in stockings of wool

.

No candles in windows no joy to express

Down in the slums they’ll not eat to excess

In a cold cell where torture is done

Prisoner of conscience has no where to run

.

Faces turn upwards looking at the moon

Will peace and good will be on earth soon?

Those that care but emotions can’t handle

Cry at the window when they light the peace candle
