Rushing to and fro
unsure what day it is
online and to stores we go
seeking gifts to buy
Nonstop action so it seems
barely stopping
even to notice
those in need
Concerned with our lives
lists with our family
our friends only
charity found nowhere
Too busy for homeless
hopeless helpless creatures
who fill out town
and streets
Worried only about us
what we need to do
to get to give
so selfish
Going here and there
walking right be them
lost as we are
in a holidaze
