Yum,another piece of pie.
Turkey,potatoes,stuffing and more
just falling off my plate.
Hungry boy in Africa
"poor little guy,
wish I could help."
Christmas flyers on the table
filled with smiling faces.
Dirty little girl in Mexico
"oh that's so sad,
I've seen her picture before."
Super sales on t.v.
buy everything you want.
Homeless man in America
"somebody should do something,
oh that sure makes me mad!"
Christmas music on the radio
fa-la-la...joy to the world.
Frozen family in your town
"oh,they'll get by...
now,who wants more pie."

Yea, excellent way to get a message across here bro.
You didn't beat us over the head with it, but surely
raised the conscious on a situation pervasive across the globe...hunger, truly made me VERY thankful
for whatever blessing I have n solemn for those less fortunate , I DO donate at every opportunity though...

one "piece of pie" i recollect in connection to your poem..it is life and death of philosoph Simone Weil, who died of undernourishment because of her solidarity to the victims of concentrations camps during second world war.. i never heard of another example of such selflessness

A subtle (but not too subtle) held up mirror to our selfishness, carelessness and ignorance.
Brilliant piece (of pie), Hashman.

I completely agree with Poe! Raising awareness on the less fortunate during this time of year. So much to be thankful for. Great job Hash....Xo

Well spoken, Hashman. Too overwhelming to think of saving them all... but one at a time is a damn fine place to start.
