[Hollywood and Evangelists had a chance to tell children the true story of St. Nicholas1. But the movie ‘Polar Express’ and military arm NORAD2 preferred to keep the World in the Medieval Dark Ages deifying non-related fictitious St. Nick! – Kolki]
The Transition of St. Nicholas to Santa Claus:
Bishop St. Nicholas (280 AD), early American St. Nick (1823), & American Santa (from Dutch legend Sinter Klaas), from Santa Claus Comes to America, by Caroline Singer & Cyrus Baldridge, Alfred Knopf, 1942
If I were Santa Claus -
I wouldn’t wait for the Christmas Eve
Hiding entire year in my North Pole factory
Watching children suffer, starve, and die everywhere
From irresponsible distribution, inequity, and war!
I would be out each day riding waves of light
To save and serve mostly the ones left behind
Letting reindeer celebrate in the homey Arctic wild!
If I were Santa Claus -
I would be in the middle of every fight!
Waving flag and shouting ‘HO HO HO’ peace is insight!
Would be standing in courtroom watching trials
Helping lawyers for silenced victims behind prison walls!
If I were Santa Claus -
I would have gone to every house with a smile
On chilled or warm Christmas night, dark or bright
Knocking on the door detouring fireplace flight
Asking children to thank their parent(s)
For year-round gift of love, guidance, and cares!
If I were Santa Claus –
I would teach children – truth is the real peace foundation!
Halloween is ‘all hallows eve’ a holy occasion!
Departed souls not ugly as the masks of commercialization!
Body deforms decays and disappear as natural action
But the soul wonders hallowed for eternal re-union!
If I were Santa Claus -
I would inspire people with goodness of Saint Nicholas!
Preaching loving Gospels of true Jesus
That Kingdom of God is inside heart not in Church
United Kingdom of Israel is not Vatican’s Promise Land’
Christmas is not a time just for toys and bonus!
It’s the time to sing hymn in chorus -
Celebrating gift of life from Heavenly father and mother!
