Thanksgiving Why We Give Thanks Poem by Lori Triggs

Thanksgiving Why We Give Thanks
For people to be racists on this day.
For people to be discriminate religions.
For people to be discriminate if your homeless.
For people to be discriminate if you feed the hungry.
For people to how much money you have.
For people to complain it is raining, snowing or sunny out.
For being full from eating themselves to death.
For people to not to invite you because you might take their friends away
or you or they have a better house than they do.
For people to complain that they where not invited anywhere.
Is that what giving thanks is for Thanksgiving it is selfishness.

Thanksgiving Why We Give Thanks
Is to give homes to the homeless.
Is to feed the hungry.
Is to have a home.
Is to have the earth while it here.
Is to have people to invite you and you do the same back.
Is to have friends no matter where they are.
Is to have family no matter where they are.
Is to give thanks to the pilgrims and the Indians.
Now this is what giving thanks is for Thanksgiving a giving, sharing and having.
