Savior

When you sit down to eat
Prepare to say grace
For the food
For your life
Don’t look upward
Look down at your plate
At that slice of roast beef
That filet; that chop
A life was taken
A sacrifice
So you may live
And though not
Given willingly
It would be
Insulting
A sacrilege
Blasphemy
To direct
Thanks elsewhere
When the giver
- The real Savior -
Sits right there

On your plate
