And the sight of him and all who celebrate the season is a joy in your poem, before we get to the awful truth of starvation and despair. And who could thrive on Chili peppers? The one crop that pays bills vs the many crops that might feed the children and the neighbor's children. Jesus walked among the poor. Politicians and market ratings, in contrast, seem anti-Christ.
