Santa doesn't visit this part of our town.
And the trees are bare, but not by Nature.
The Salvation Army band was run out of here...
seems the local locos didn't like the tunes.

No Silent Nights here...just gunfire and sirens
fill the night with their hellish, ear-splitting ruckus.
No Wassail Punch awaits the weary Yule traveler...
justy forties of rotgut brew and bottles of MadDog 20/20.

Kids don't get much in the way of gifts out here...
how can they think of Christmas Cheer with no food?
And adults only hope to survive this night of terror...
you hear not "HO-HO-HO," but more often "NO-NO-NO!"

This Devil's Playground can be in most any city zone...
and the shorties and kid-bangers make it all too real.
This is Christmas in Hell, and just like the place below...
the night has a way of erupting into red-hot flames.

Sometimes, we need to remember that Christmas is not always about peace on Earth, nor about goodwill to anybody.
When you live in Hell On Earth--it seems that The Other Man In The Red Suit is paying a Yuletide visit.
