American Holiday, America's Shame...

On this day for giving thanks,
what are you grateful for?
What possibilities have you explored,
have you searched within yourself
and come up wanting more?
Have you poured from the cup of human kindness,
or have you looked upon man's inhumanity to man
with a deaf ear and convenient blindness?
Have you heard the poor cry
or let the sound die on the wind?
Have you wondered why such things exist
and when might a change begin?
When the start is in our hearts
not on some colorful flow chart
for if we each did our part
poverty would not exist
nor would the poor in spirit
When the haves truly see the have nots
there would be a new beginning...
