Once upon a Christmas Eve (Free verse) by exoticwriter
Once upon a Christmas Eve and all throughout the land, a silence crept upon the earth, withstood by every man. There were no voices speaking, no one to ask of why, nations unite in rhythm, as the stars begin to rise. The air is thick with silence, as the rhythm makes its way across the land, across the sea, the world begins to sway. Hypnotized in motion, yet balanced by their need, deafened by the silence, continued through the Eve. Every thought acknowledged, every tear combined, as nations rose above the grief, it transformed a new mankind. Repression replaced with freedom, hate replaced with pride, anger replaced with kindness, as the mass stood side by side. Daylight pierces quickly as the silent rhythm fades Peace becomes triumph in the dawn of Christmas day.

It would be funnier if it happened on Halloween. And isn't pride the gravest of the Seven Deadlies? Are you advocating SIN? Get away from me! Drop on your knees and PRAY, you terrible, terrible thing!
