To one of my favorite countries in the world, Canada, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving celebration. Whether you are celebrating this weekend or on Monday, may it be a time of coming together as families and as a nation. As you celebrate, honor and remember the First Nations who were on the land before. Canada, all good things that come from being a strong and free nation.

It’s Thanksgiving Day, yet so many people are choosing between which necessity of life they can afford.
In the greatest of contrast: the more that giant-grocer corporations make, all the more they irresistibly want to and likely will make next quarter. Is it ever enough for them?! No wonder food banks are strained. Unmet food needs are exacerbated by price inflation, while corporate profits and payouts to CEOs correspondingly inflate.
I would gladly give thanks — if everyone else on Earth had enough clean, safe drinking water, nutritional food, and societal stability (i.e. not trapped within a continuous war zone) to maintain a normal, healthy life. Nevertheless, for now …
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.
