Guilty Xmas

 
There's a rainbow over Tesco's
it's consumerism's curse
The turkey's on day three
and the sprouts have done their worst

Now I love a bit of tinsel
and I'm partial to a drop
but when the planet's had a skinful
she knows when it's time to stop

There'll soon be New Year and then Easter
Halloween and Valentine
celebrating our excesses
with no thought for things divine

If only God would point a finger
at our greedy way of life
when half the world is starving
he'd say share and share alike
