A Deadly Sin,.. or shopping?

I feel in the days of 2010

Black Friday has quickly replaced

gluttony

Or for a simpler math equation

Black Friday = Gluttony

don't believe me?

In most cases people overspent

because it was a "good deal"

Bought something they didn't need

or even want

because of the price

Black Friday

has infected the once beloved and cherished

Thanksgiving day

Instead of one counting blessings

They count the ads online  or in the paper

Instead of focusing on what they should be thankful for

and in a quite way

replaying the year to evaluate how truly blessed they are

They are instead making lists

and checking them twice

and figuring out where they will stand in line at 3 am in the morn

Then as the doors are opened

people who just made peace and a turkey

shove and push to get where they are going 1st

They rejoice in a  hypnotic fashion and dance on to the next store on their list

This is gluttony in it finest

Black Friday or even Cyber Monday can be done right

but people gotta get a grip

on themselves, their checkbook, and above all the Christmas spirit

Please tell me how 50 presents under the tree

or a huge T.V

is going to make you anymore whole, than the day before?

Just as you might sit across a man

who is gorging himself in such a way it makes your stomach turn

with more and more plates being presented

you think, does he really need all that food

OMG, that is disgusting

You try not to look but you cannot help your self

stare at a man who has created his own demise

Stuffing himself without care

This man is a glutton

Black Friday and him are best friends

Simply gross.
