[bodytext] => In a cold dark room a baby is born, On an old bed, all tattered and torn, No medical assistance, the mother alone, She lies weak and frightened, far from home, No guiding star in this sky tonight, No future ahead so clear and bright, No shepherds to watch, no wise men here, Just a young girl and child in adversity, The father he left her,without a goodbye, With no money or food,or reasons why, Left her alone to beg on the streets, To a life now so cruel and bittersweet, A cardboard box is this babies bed, From his mothers breast this baby is fed, No bethlehem,no stable, no manger here, Just harsh reality and so much fear, The baby cries, for it is cold, A blanket surrounds it, no swaddling clothes, The night is bitter, and full of dread, And come the morning, the baby is dead, The mother worn out and in so much distress, Holds the child so tightly at her breast, Cries for this child who never stood a chance, A victim only through circumstance, The mother then wrapped the child up tight, Placed him in a bag that fateful night, To the street she went and in a while, In a bin she disposed of that little child, Back in her cold and miserable room, Reality hit her amongst the gloom, She overdosed with needle sharp, Heartbroken and lost in the dark, So this the alternative christmas tale, That shows us life beyond the pale, Two deaths that night, no saviour there, And all because of lack of care, [comments] => 7 [counter] => 3190 [topic] => 32 [informant] => jerseysue [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
