Happy Thanksgiving

From dinner guests
To enemies
What a thing perceive
And all about
The table then
In lieu of passing peas
Said tempers rose eventually
And brought friends to their knees

Oh what a way
To treat someone
Who did once grace the table
Finding little peace again
To think we are unable

The color skin is so abused
To cause such undue harm
In place of turkey, corn and bread
Scythe people like a farm

And where this has directed
A path and course to fear
The cycle does repeat itself
The same from year to year
