With the current state
of the world I wondered whether the latest hideous US import was worth getting
agitated about. It is. Humans fighting over Christmas crap, on a day orchestrated by the retail industry, is truly a gruesome, miserable, degrading thing.
BLACK FRIDAY LAMENT
Here’s ‘Black Friday’
It feels so grey
Queue. Charge. Grab. Buy
Plastic rises sky high
Saturday teatime
Could be bee time
Make it compulsory
To bath in warm honey
Why can’t we say
It’s Sweet Sunday
All shops will close
For calm repose
Monday’s Kiss day
Don’t avoid this day
Stop. Breathe. Think. Smile
Look around a while
Tuesday let’s say
It is Mates’ day
Hug a close friend -
Remember hands are there to lend
Wednesday morning
Without warning
Paint ‘my mum is
fantastic’ on your face then take a picture and instagram it to
Everyone that you know
Yellow Thursday
Mellow Friday
Not black
Like depression
Bless the days and coulour them bright. Then spangle them with hope and light
