A Letter To Santa Claus Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Dear and Respected St. Nicholas,
Children still need your love and caress,
Yes they need chocolates and lovely toys,
But the girls and the boys,
Are in dire need of a future,
They are afraid of the caricature,
Of political and religious leaders,
The satanic pleaders,
Polarization they increase,
Peace of mind they decrease,
War for them is a cricket match,
Innocence from children they snatch,
Workers fighting polio face their violence,
Girls' schools are burnt by illiterate ignorance,
Pollution is increasing day by day,
A doubtful future is ahead of the clay,
The damaged layer of ozone is crying,
In the distant space now man is flying,
Water the symbol of life,
Now a pre-war strife,
Future of children is so much insecure,
On 24th of December can you bring a cure?
This year please bring in your lovely packs,
A secured future for the children free of lacks!
