Thanksgiving is a holiday that we suppose to share food to eat
while having drink some spirits,
even giving thanks for the food or spirits with the invited guests.

This holiday is to have fun with happiness to leave everyday stuff behind,
but no one knows how to leave things behind or
invite people to their homes if they have nowhere to go,

Being selfish humans they are afraid
Others will do something better than they can
or that others will steal their friends and family away
finding friends even family will like another more than them.

So why give thanks for your friends or
neighbors being selfishness and ignorant,
I say that is not a friend and your neighbor just being a neighbor
thinks of oneself not of any other person.

While people are starving or homeless on the street
they can be starving besides homeless with no money,
because they have no job to feed or clothe themselves even the family
when you and your guests stuff your faces plus drink yourself till fall down.

So why are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
