Stuffed

Stuffed

A Poem by Muse
"

...some of the rich are one "hurricane Sandy" away from being an equal to the lower class." No food..no wine..no shelter. Let us give thanks.

"

 

 

((((((((STUFFED))))))))



Sitting next to the babe of sister Jane, is
a stomach, renting an apartment for two.
Uncle Bob and Brother Ted, are
there visiting from Kalamazoo.
And there's Grandma Edith, who
curses mostly in Swedish.
So much food and wine, one
ought to be squeamish.
Plates overloaded with turkey and butter rolls.
Whole-made stuffing, and green bean casserole. Napkins
everywhere. Wiping up the warm cranberry sauce.
All the while sits pretty Jill, who

quietly applies her pink lip gloss.

All of them....
Forgetting to say grace...
Forgetting to thank the Lord for their health, and warm fireplace.


FILL THEIR CUPS FULL OF WINE.
LET THEM LAUGH AND LET THEM DINE.
THEY WILL BLOAT, AND THEY WILL GLOAT.
SOME DAY...

THEY'LL RUN OUT OF FOOD.
LICKING THE CRUMBS OFF, THE

SOLE OF THEIR SHOES.
TO STAY ALIVE...

THEY WILL EAT THE CAT THAT SWALLOWED THE RAT.
ENOUGH CHOLESTEROL TO GIVE THEM ALL; A

FERKING HEART-ATTACK!

There shall always be those who are never thankful for what they have and never see the suffering of others...
Amazes me how "poor" to some people is not affording a bottle of champagne and to others is literally is not eating...there is no balance and plenty of wealth in this world to share, sickens me!
Poignant darlin, well voiced and damn well needed ♥

Hi Muse, a rather poignant and angry rant at the greed and gluttony of society. A society that stands by as disaster after disaster happens. More importantly turns a blind eye to man made blight. Not your best piece but it delivers!

There is much to consider here. As I read...I can't help but feel this is about gluttony. Or maybe greed...which relates to gluttony in a way...either way this is thought provoking and definitely pushes peoples' buttons.

a sad truth. first world ideas that seem 'great' at the core.. well until it slips our minds or causes dinner to get cold. I love this piece!

I think america in general wastes a lot of food,
"Forgetting to thank the Lord for their health, and warm fireplace." so true
