    Poem Commentary


    Hampton requested some of us to do a piece on ThanksGiving so without a doubt my brain starts working. I didn't want to do that 'I am so thankful for this or for that' as I so aften seen.
    So as I watch the news today with all the  hungry people in line for food I decide to put myself in line also and this what came out. So I just wing this piece hope u guys like it.

    The Day After..........

     
     
     Standing in line people from all walks of life.
    Waiting patiently for a meal for it only comes once or twice a year. How bless are we for today we eat.
    We see the kindness of these volunteers working hard to easy our pain knowing the day after will not be late.
    As I make my way to the top of the line, I'm greeted with many smiles and hugs from ones who are just one paycheck away from standing in line with me.  As they fix my plate I say a quite prayer Oh Lord please make their hands heavy so I can put away some for the day after.

    USA Today say nearly 18,000 children die each day from just pure hunger. Who's the blame for this shame surely there is enough grain on earth to feed all of God's children even those who don't care to know him.
    What will I do the day after, Oh don't get me wrong I do thank the God above. For It is not he but ones like me full of greed who continue to take more then they need.
    Some blame God for this mess but I know way better then that. So I will continue to thank him for each day I raise knowing that soon there will be no worries about the day after.

    A hard story, well told, and you're too right about too many people being one paycheck from the street, but change is coming. Great work, infiniti.

    Very well written. we all have so much to be thankful for and in our own celebrations, forget those that are happy just to get a meal. may we all give just an ounce of kindness to others. nice piece.

    This is a heartfelt piece that expresses the frustration that we all feel about those that are starving while others feast.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
