"Are You Thankful?"


“Are You Thankful?”

How many remember struggles
living in the 15th or 16th century
even in the early 20th century
without modern conveniences
taken for granted today in USA
where many still in the world
without even a fraction of any
how can we be thankful today
if we remember not sacrifices
of those who’ve gone before
rather many destroy history
re-writing as they choose
brilliant minds and druggies
are you thankful – if for what
or better to who are you
so much sacrifice given
so spoiled those living now
comprehending selfishness
before humble gratefulness!
