We Need More Thanks Giving (An Indictment)
We Need More Thanks Giving (An Indictment)
Do ya think there's a Thanks Giving
Judge? Big Brother looking over
your shouldered responsibilities?
Turkeys come from somewhere, right?
The shared meal became the stolen
land, as history repeats like the musket's
report through a New World's wilderness;
skimming the ocean's centuries,
resting at the feet of hungry children
watching you give sacrifice to
the god of your belly;
salivating at your leftovers.
Why do some have more
when others have less?
A hand will level justice's scales . . .
Freely you have received, freely give*
