Santa is Coming
Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh 1940 (Harar)
As Santa declaring his coming
To greet the neighborhood children
Every child wishing to be part
Making long list to have presents
Everyone filled with excitement
The house decorated
With Christmas tree
Lights sparkling everywhere
In the room
Card board boxes
Filled with stuff
Consuming spaces
All that is additional
In magnifying its importance
What a delightful month
Of a year is December?
And to some
The weather is unfriendly
Shivering to death
No place to hide
"They all have charge
To take care of their own fate"
About this poem
Over the years, I had the opportunity of observing children, including my grandchildren. The excitement and the love of Christmas. Thus, their main focus is to get Christmas presents, and I expressed "Santa is Coming."
