No Thanks: Pre-Holiday Gut Check


No Thanks

Pre-Holiday Gut Check

I’m American. No thanks to give. But fucks? Yeah.

Freedom? Owning little and not being possessed by possessions. Things or people.

Of which I own few. None own me.

Love? The animals that share, shared and will share this space or that future one.

Over 300 critters and counting….

People? In small doses are tolerable. In great number, a presumed threat. Proceed with caution.

The American holiday of #Thanksgiving is a sin. In God’s eyes and the planet’s.

So I opt out.

#ritual?

Instead, it’s a drive out to the nearest state park, where I leave treats of nuts, dried fruit and birdseed for the wild lives living there.

Articles of Faith. Give Thanks.

Horns of plenty

It fills the coffers of this land

Where’s it come from they don’t say

A little sleight of hand

The good life

I can almost taste it

Pay the price

With my worst fears

Their touch is cold

Their touch is cold

Give Thanks

Give Thanks

Give Thanks

Give Thanks

See the children

Smiling faces

Clean white hands

How can I deny

The benefits of this blessed land

Comfort, warmth, and happiness

The promise of the light they shed

We must spread this to all people

Later on we can count the Dead
