Analysis of Peace And Goodwill
The spirit of the season
is peace and goodwill.
Determined human reason
must these themes fulfill.
Here's to generosity
and unselfish care
in tandem with tolerance
throughout every year.
Conflict and strife are treason
that grand goals dispel.
Amity voids a lesion
to kindness instill.
Here's to loving charity
and benevolence
coupled with true comity
and munificence.
Extension of the season
as a daily drill
would resurrect peace on earth
and dissension quell.
