we came up with giving tuesday
if a nation
were to become so intertwined
in self-absorption
fueled by greed
it had to allot a special day
to fill the needs
of those less fortunate
one would think
that constructing a working safety net
might be the order in which
said nation went
on a pathway to a paradise
where more bang for the buck meant
more than blanketing a world
with the shell casings you've already spent
as i'm left wondering
where the hell will jesus vent.
