CHRISTMAS IN AFRICA VS ELSEWHERE

In Africa, Christmas
Is a time for
Begging
Stealing
Stampedes, and
Death

Elsewhere, Christmas
Is a time for
Exchanges
Giving
Celebration, and
Life

Africans beg
For gifts
Elsewhere
Gifts are exchanged
And everyone
Participates in the exchanges

Africans steal
To display wealth and
Subsequently create
Deadly stampedes
At events staged
To display wealth

Elsewhere, giving
Expresses love
In Africa, giving
Is a display
A display of
Mostly ill-gotten wealth

Distribution of
Ill-gotten wealth
Is rechristened
Distribution of Palliatives
What about the
Other 364 days?

As Africans die
In stampedes
Stampedes created by
Wealthy Africans
Others are celebrating
The Birth of Christ.
