Christmas Means Freedom...
(Or, "Freedom From The Fear Of America's Drone Wars")

Christmas Means Freedom From
The Fear Of America's Drone Wars!

Because Jesus The Christ Was Born—
And Died—For Our Sins, Such As Wars!

And We, The Christians, Should Respect
The Sacrifice Made By Jesus The Christ!

Therefore, We Should "Sin No More" Through
The Perpetuation Of America's Drone Wars!

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "Christmas Means Freedom From The Fear Of America's Drone Wars!"

Also, beginning in January 2013, I tried to create a post for virtually every holiday and special occasion of which I was aware, but I realized by September 2014 that I did not have enough time and energy to continue posting for every holiday and special occasion. And I decided to keep the poems in that series which were the most relevant to this blog, of which this is one.

And this poem was only published on my "Small All White in the Forest" blog.

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
