Every bite just as woeful
Each morsel just ash
All the same
Who has known
A true absence
A quiet dignity
Is to be truly grateful
Poisoned by premonitions?
For when shall fear
Be replaced by understanding

The author's comments:
Thanksgiving is questionable as to whether people are truly grateful. If they truly understand what it means to be fortunate, and not to simply take advantage of it. A wise man once said you never miss your water 'til your well runs dry.
