These tinsel days of December

Let us fashion hopeful hearts

In the face of hopelessness,

Adding our annual plea for peace

Though the world is in pieces.

Let us strive to go beyond  

Barriers of bigotry,

For no one is all black or white

Despite contagious hatred

We are discolored by.

‘Tis the season!  May festive lights

Illuminate ourselves as well!

(Memorize this futile prayer

 We’ll need again next year.)
