| Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks; However, the reception's not so clear. As we pass the drumsticks or the shanks, No Maker holds such severed flesh less dear. Kindness is a requisite for grace; So must we be to all that suffer pain. Gratitude seems slightly out of place In places where compassion is less plain. Very few this day will give much thought In passing to the creatures that they eat. Nor will we feel the empathy we ought, Given that we are ourselves but meat. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
