Celebrations

THERE ARE ALWAYS CELEBRATIONS COMING UP...BEEN GOING ON SINCE GOD'S DOG WAS A PUP The manner in which humans celebrate an outstanding occasion Is to focus on an object to mark the situation Eats and decorations are the way things are done There are several outstanding contenders ranking as No.One These things can be shrubs or saplings, butts and birds Although People are unable to connect these words Trees, hogs and birds are the usual choices You'll hear the puzzlement in all human voices A shrub or sapling? are you out of your tree A bird? What sort of bird would that be? And I think mentioned the butt of a hog? Surely you joke, are you dense as a log? Of course with an explanation it becomes clear These somethings to humans mean holidays are near But all these things have one thing in common The only way to use 'em is you have to kill 'em I can hear it now as the cry goes around A tree? You're worried about chopping a tree down? A tree was alive many years in the ground It did more good than the ones chopping it down It's place in the forest kept everything sound As for the animals, a pig, cow, fish or bird Their lives were taken for reasons you've heard Taking lives to celebrate special days Proves humanity hasn't yet come out of their caves

Thank you Daniel. I am so glad you liked it. I try to frame an uncomfortable message in a way that people won't be put off. Sometimes I succeed but at best it's hit or miss. Thanks again for your input
