Merry Christmas From Powell Peralta

Christmas Wishes From Ron English

Here is a festive poem from artist Ron English to brighten your holidays.

I don’t mean to offend
Or speak out of turn
But the man they called Jesus
Shall never return
He’s not indifferent
Or above our concern
2000 years later
We still haven’t learned
No matter how we may pray
No matter how we may yearn
No ascension
No return
No he’s not in heaven
No he’s not in an urn
He’s not in that place
Where sinners all burn
No Jesus never died
High up on that cross
No human kind
Never suffered that loss
Being a martyr
Just wasn’t his role
Dying so young
Just wasn’t his goal
Jesus just aged
Into a jolly ole soul
On top of the world
High on the North Pole

A Thought Provoking Christmas Ornament

These grenade tree ornaments are made by the Manchester design firm Dorothy in conjunction with activist organization Ctrl.Alt.Shift. Looking at these ornaments brings home the fact that it's not all eggnog and candy canes for many people across the globe. The ornaments are sold in six packs and a portion of the proceeds goes to Ctrl.Alt.Shift's efforts to end global conflict.
