"Time Magazine article March 13, 1972 features only small part of poem, highlighting
the difficulty of accessing the real poem origin and contents.
"To Santa Claus and Little Sisters" A Poem By Anonymous. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/articl...53,00.html
The poem was written by Anonymous, a reported 14 or 15 year old boy that committed
suicide two years after writing the poem, although no exact age or poem-to-suicide
timeline can be established by documented research at this point.
Poem has been published in numerous online poetry journals
http://www.poemtree.com/poems/ToSantaClaus.htm
http://web.cs.dal.ca/~johnston/poetry/once.html
This poem also has been used in many school curriculums to highlight the agony of
teen suicide, and possibly used in undergraduate psychology classes for special
education preparation courses."
