Either way, while the superfluously rich never go without, too many other people are choosing between which necessity of life they can afford — nutritious food or warm shelter. Thus, the following poem is for the growing number of people for whom there's nothing to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, or any other day of the year ...
.
Just pass me the holiday turkey, peas
and the delicious stuffing flanked
by buttered potatoes with gravy
since I’ve said grace with plenty ease
for the good food received I’ve thanked
my Maker who’s found me worthy.
.
It seems that unlike the many of those
in the unlucky Third World nation
I’ve been found by God deserving
to not have to endure the awful woes
and the stomach wrenching starvation
suffered by them with no dinner serving.
.
Therefor hand over to me the corn
the cranberry sauce, fresh baked bread
since for my grub I’ve praised the Lord
yet I need not hear about those born
whose meal I’ve been granted instead
as they receive naught of the grand hoard.
.
(Not to be misunderstood, I’m actually a big fan of Christ's unmistakable message and miracles.)
