Gratitude
What is the meaning of gratitude?
Giving our old torn clothes to the ones who have none.
Throwing away the food we could not devour,
Letting them clean our spaces adding more to what they won.
Blaming the gods above and the past life,
For the fates that our gratitude showered upon us all.
The divides that we made ourselves,
In the name of those paper and metal made wall.
Distracting from the distractions imposed to escape,
Creating images of self importance and being a unique word.
Forgetting who grows the food we eat,
Seeing abundance and extrapolating it to the whole world.
That all is what gratitude is not, but it rather is,
Taking responsibility for what we created to ward it off.
Regaining the power to lose all you have,
To move beyond the semblance of these illusory fogs.
Letting them clean our spaces adding more to what they won.
Blaming the gods above and the past life,
For the fates that our gratitude showered upon us all.
The divides that we made ourselves,
In the name of those paper and metal made wall.
Distracting from the distractions imposed to escape,
Creating images of self importance and being a unique word.
Forgetting who grows the food we eat,
Seeing abundance and extrapolating it to the whole world.
That all is what gratitude is not, but it rather is,
Taking responsibility for what we created to ward it off.
Regaining the power to lose all you have,
To move beyond the semblance of these illusory fogs.
