A fun time of year that is more of a new beginning than the turn of the year.
Easter Bunny
A happy time from tragedy,
applied to the cute and cuddly,
whether it be rabbits or chicks,
the intention to sell chocolate bricks.
Supposedly a sign of rebirth,
mood lightening from dark winter’s dearth,
but really another opportunity for
selling,
obscuring the message’s true meaning.
Opportunity to embrace newness again,
a natural world’s living campaign,
to protect our planet and save the
future,
from the actions of the current
caretaker.
Appealing to the fondness of the children,
with creatures and confectionery distraction,
hoping they will enjoy the reward,
and become more efficient landlord.
