ODE: 'LETTER FROM CHRISMAS' BY AJAKAYE STRIDA.

'LETTER FROM CHRISTMAS'

My day have you seen a thousand times before today,

yet again, you witness me again.

ye young and old animals,

thy old and young of humanity

have kindly slaughtered an ordained life to celebrate Jesus...

These animals killed for Christmas

are those to be buried in Christ,

and resurrect in heaven, in tales of fulfillment,

basking the returns of their holiness.

Hurry for my spiritual, metaphysical celebration,

I am this day of Mary's born Jesus,

I wish you see more of me,

in love built happiness, open ocean relaxation,

and bloodless, palace prosperity.

I am happy that you remember me, Christmas,

I am your confidant,

speak and praise me the fortunes of 2021,

I promise another better

than you work, crave and dream for,

in Chrismas' Name we pray, Amen.

STRIDA- Striking Ideas.

The poet personae celebrates Chrismas with the first person point of view. She says beautiful happenings of Christlife  with the voice of Christmas. Christmas tells her readers to praise God for the great things He has done through out the year so that more would be given in 2022.
