5 days 'till Christmas
kind words spill over,
a sweet volcanic eruption
that could destroy you
a Hallmark photo-shopped world
that explodes with goods and wants
we complain about
water pressure,
global warming
work stress
while someone
lives in a make-shift box,
tattered and soggy
has gone days
without a shower
has lived in the streets
since she was ten
endures the temperature
changes while the rest of us
overuse the world to the point
of its exhaustion
tired of our fast-paced lives
we are running 'till
we run out of time
and she only wishes
for her time to run out
