Five Golden Rings (Day 5 of the 12DoC link-up): Christmas Poetry

Today, as the third post I've contributed towards the 12 Days of Christmas link-up, although technically the FIFTH day of Christmas, I'm bringing you guys a couple Christmas poems I've written.

The first poem is one I wrote last week and is more on the serious side. The following ones are kind of an odd thing I did last month just for fun and are going to eventually be an entire collection under the title: A Villain's Christmas. B-)
Weird I know, but could you honestly expect anything else from me? Anyways. I hope you enjoy all of them, and be sure to let me know in the comments which was your favorite. ;)
Without further ado, I present...

 ~ The Whole Reason for Christmas ~

Snowflakes and evergreen trees 

Smiles and flamboyant wreaths

Santa and elves and the toys

Songs that have become background noise

Lights and meaningless junk

That fills up our attics and bunks

Hot cocoa and eggnog lattes

Reasons this season conveys

Explains why we do what we do

And the piles of stuff we accrue

The full emptiness of it all

The sales and rush through the mall

Take a moment to step back and see

How ridiculous about Christmas are we 

What is this day without God

A worthless mask, a phony façade

Realize that when Father sent Son

To save a world both doomed and undone

He laid down His life for ours

That gift which tore down the bars

And gave everyone chance to win

The ever present battle with sin

The same sin that distracts us today

From the desire to study and pray

Those wants and wishes we get

Beyond all those needs we have met

To have more stuff we don't need

To satisfy our pride and our greed

But we can be conquerors now

Going before His throne with a bow

Admitting that we are but weak

Admitting that His help we seek

Knowing our deeds are but rags

That fill up countless trash bags

And this is why Jesus Christ came

As a babe in a manger was lain

Why he grew up as one of us

But still God, both holy and just

And died on that cross for mankind

So God could claim heart and mind

Of each willing, forgiven soul

Eternal life with Him the main goal

Now when He sees the raised hands

Of people from various lands

Instead of our sin blackened hearts

He sees His Son's sacrificial scars

And opens the gates with a smile

Into heaven with streets of gold tile

So take time on Christmas this year

To thank God for His sacrifice dear

Exchanging His Son for us broken things

And rejoice in the joy that it brings

To know we are forgiven and free

'Cause God can love people like me

~ Guns and Knives ~

(a.k.a Jingle Bells)

 

Dashing through the snow

After ruining someone’s day

O’er the fields I go

Laughing all the way

(Bwhahahaha)

 

Guns and knives,

Guns and knives,

Always do the job

Oh what fun it is to fight

And then escape the mob

Coins in pockets ring

Makes my spirit rise

Oh, what fun it is to sing

A slaying song tonight!

(Bwhahahahaha)

Guns and knives,

Guns and knives,

Always do the job

Oh what fun it is to fight

And then escape the mob

 

 

I'll leave you with a (sort of) theme appropriate song. Just...don't get this version stuck in your head. That's all I ask. :P

 

 

 

~ The Twelve Days of Villainy ~

On the twelfth day a villain said “Look above for me”

And gave me Twelve bricks a-falling

Eleven windows creaking

Ten doors a-closing

Nine hoodlums watching

Eight bombs a-fizzing

Seven knives a-flying

Six dogs a-growling

FIVE LIPSTICK GUNS

Four stun grenades

Three cups of poison

Two ICBMs

And a match and some TNT

(Special thanks to my brothers Maxwell, David, William, and Sam for helping me come up with all the explosive names. *grins* Truly, that is what brothers are for. XD)

 

Well, I hope you enjoyed that. ;) Have a fantastic fifth day of Christmas with those lipstick guns (and YES those are actually a thing)!

I'll be back on the seventh day with some Christmas pet peeves! :)

 

Until then, let everything you do be done for the glory of God!
