THIS YEAR IN AMERICA CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED


"He rode over Connecticut in a glass coach." Wallace Stevens

MURANO GLASS 

THIS YEAR IN AMERICA CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED 

Innocent children 
in pre-Christmas class 

Cheerfully making 
glittery cards

When the door opens 
and a big shot walks in 

They are there for the taking
- they are fragile as glass

They are there for the taking 
- they are fragile as glass.

  1. You could see the tremendous sorrow of President Obama at his press conference after the children were shot.

    He has tremendous concern about the safety of children in the classroom but not much for children in the womb.

    In America, and perhaps all over the world, many people feel the same way.

    And most of them will have a merry Christmas.
