A Thing of the Past

A thing of the past

We have become ungrateful

Feigning excitement

Mesmerized by Black Friday

And all of its false idols

Its meaning replaced

By glossy ads–hypnotic

And sworn good fortune

Thanksgiving–gone to the heap

With Christmas soon to follow

    I HATE Black Friday.

      I despise it as well. All of the commercialism is disgusting and I am truly sick of if.

    I hate Black Friday as well. I am home all weekend. Staying away from people and life. It is cheaper and less stressful.

      It sure is, I didn’t go out at all and therefore in a much better mood than I otherwise would have been. :) I hope that you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and remained stress-free.
