Holiday Haiku: An Atheist Speaks

Bright star in the sky...
Sign He is Born!? Err, no. Just...
A supernova...


Distant galaxy...
Star used up it's hydrogen...
Millions 'years ago.


But a babe is born,
Homeless and among the sheep.
Just like every day.


Christians assert rule...
Jews and Muslims: Bow to them!
December is theirs!


Santa's helpers toil.
Doesn't it make your blood boil?
Slavery endures.


Bells ring! Angel wings?
Nope. It's a cash register,
Taking your money.


Mom: Some more jewelry.
Dad: Nineteenth tie; Son: iPod.
Homeless Guy: Nothing.


Rum eggnog, wine, punch,
Scotch, gin, beer, peppermint schnapps.
Let's now drink and drive!


Snowflakes drifting down,
Bringing icy roads and death...
Isn't winter grand!


If our "Savior's" life,
Wasn't ever sacrificed...
Save ourselves, we must.
