Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day ~ pretty weird that it is necessary to have one day allocated during the year to give thanks to the harvest or anything else we might and should be grateful for during the year and I do not suppose that turkeys approve of this pagan feast when we stuff ourselves with bird flesh digestives condiments from the gravy train of riches Hallelujah for burgers wine and soft drinks Coca Cola Mc Donald’s Gallo’s Alamos on consumption’s battle fields entrenched in modern living praised be the Harvest Queen the God of Wall Street the Guns and Drones that feed our seeming needs the wants of affluence and exploitation the fig leafs of sweet environmental humility You sow the wind and reap the storm and flatulence and bloated waistlines waste lines of reason’s indigestion shed fatty malnourished winds of tempest’s thunder Armaggedon in the waking waiting helplessly for paradise at least in our neck of the woods the Global North’s power broking houses of doom injustice domination Far from honouring the beauty the Dominatrix yes mother Gaia is female and should protect ancestral love and kindness from the milk and honey breast of feeding body mind and soul and spirit communal comprehension ancient modern or just timeless cycles of sustainable responsibility we pilfer rape and pillage desecrate One day of feasting praising what we otherwise forget lest we remember leaves three-hundred and sixty-four periods of moon and sunlight spinning out of all control and we’re oblivious to the warning signs of plenty erase the gift we should pass on to our children lineage progeny now left with massive mess and no Messiah Were we more honest we would solemnly acknowledge that what we’re praising in hypocrisy and neglected conscience is human depravation the demise of dignity loosing the plot the fields and garden from where our harvest needs to prosper would in frank and serious good faith admit that what we garner and amass is Genocide… 05th November 2016

Every special day is sort of hypocrisy... Every day we should embrace the important things in the world and in our lives. Not just wait till that one dedicated day.
