Red, white, green
What does it mean?
Christmas colours all over the place
Or Israel and Palestine’s festering , insane and terrible fate?

Red, white , green
What do you see?
A time for beauty from Christmas fashion or decor
Rather than reminding -yourself- on the people suffocating from war.

Red, white, green
What do you feel?
Gratitude, subliminal messages and rest
While other people- ‘not your problem’- die from hunger and distress.

Red, white, green
Three colours that mean a lot,
For many it’s merely symbolic of Christmas fun and cheer.
When for others- gone and present- the colours are an expression- suppression, spite and fear.
