Dear Santa Claus,<\/p>\n
You selfish and outrageous capitalist.<\/p>\n
You prey on hopes and dreams like<\/p>\n
A leopard preys on the children whose<\/p>\n
Dreams and hopes you’re built upon.<\/p>\n
You fascist pig of a concept, deliverer<\/p>\n
Of jealousy and anguish every year.<\/p>\n
Every year someone gets killed and<\/p>\n
Every year it’s because of your values<\/p>\n
You teach children to be selfish<\/p>\n
To be poor is a crime and to be<\/p>\n
Rich is the only right way in your<\/p>\n
Eyes which glow only due to your<\/p>\n
Lies! Lies by which people lead<\/p>\n
Their own insignificant lives! Who<\/p>\n
Cares if they don’t have enough to<\/p>\n
Eat, who cares if they are made of<\/p>\n
Sins? Either way, the Santa Claus<\/p>\n
Wins. You get more if you’re rich<\/p>\n
Than if you are poor, rewarded for<\/p>\n
No one’s actions save the slaves<\/p>\n
In sweatshops and factories<\/p>\n
While mom and dad sip<\/p>\n
Glasses of black sherrys.<\/p>\n
It’s your existence that<\/p>\n
Perpetuates fear in a land<\/p>\n
That is called ‘free’ or<\/p>\n
Fright in a child no older<\/p>\n
than three! And you have<\/p>\n
Absolutely no shame do you?<\/p>\n
Well I’m through with you<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
The poor kid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
