A Problem With Sharing


hummingbirds flock to the feeders not wanting

to share at all...  reminding me of selfish cats, dogs,

and humans who seem to be the worst of all...

we pledge ourselves to poverty and hunger and

then abandon both when our own situation approaches

dire and we regroup into a me-first attitude not

caring about our fellow comrades...  we touched the

sky and it belongs to us, nobody else, and when

our territory is threatened, we will launch a bevy

of thoughts into your direction to push you away

and think again before stealing from us...  not even

wanting to share the crumbs from our table or the

food not eaten as it still belongs to us...  and we 

are the haves and you are the have nots and we

are unapproachable...  like the hummingbird that

flies away instead of engaging, thinking that food

can be taken another way...  we are creatures of

habits who have learned from experience that

sharing has nothing to do with being American.
