(Thanksgiving, 1976)
You
can’t say
grace
if you
don’t feel
gratitude.
And
in this
old land
“I paid
for it,
so I
deserve it”
is an
ongoing
national
attitude.
Sure,
we mortals
croon,
‘cause we
walked on
the moon,
minutely
divining its
latitude.
But
till time
comes to
end
or
there's no
more to
spend
there'll be
no
real change
in
our
habitude.
'Cause
the trouble
with grace
is that
new time
and space
is
perennially
bloating
our
vanitude.
What we
need
right now
as we
sit down
to chow
is a
mirror,
to check out
our
finitude.
Paul Keane
