X poem: The old woman's pondering

   Xmas  poem :  The old  woman’s pondering

When  the   November’s pall of gloom
Is  just  receding,   the  sheets  of  water
On the  streets   like  the  massive  orgy
  flowing, overflowing , a  force,  a    fear ,  repellent
much  the chagrin, panic   of the   hut   dwellers,
farmers, the   Golden  boughs of  December wave,
 the glimmering  Hope  of  Christmas   beckons
around us , the  glow  of   bulbs on the
Christmas Trees, the plums, and cakes:
Yonder   a  slender  woman   wears  a 
   Diamond     of   strong  determined  will  
Of  Charity ,looking  at  the  bright  stars,
Stormy  arguments under  control,
Why this mindless  hoarding   of  currency?
Pondering  how long  will  the  Soul  take
 to  reach  those stars,  are  the stars  only
the  destination? are   there   any  more 
sequestered    boundaries?  How  many
 would  have     died   of   starvation?
How   many  hankering   after  of   hungry
miles ,   a   voiceless  query? She  is not
able to  attain  a   limpid  solution:
Jesus   or  some  Incarnation   or  incantation
Santa claus  arriving  soon  ,hopefully
She  continues  her mission under
The   Christmas tree.
