We are all Turkeys!

MCD
11/29/2014

It was the night before Thanksgiving
and all through the mall,
not a shopper was stirring, just
a few under paid clerks, some
rent a cops with machine guns
in hand, and the corporate
bosses counting their swag

The shelves were spilling over
with every deal to be made,
TVs and consols, blue jeans
to toys, coffee machines, mix masters
and more, oh boy, just about everything
on sale for Black Friday’s Thursday
early shopper deals

With hours from opening the
hordes at the doors building
anticipation to tackle the floor
of thirty to fifty percent off their list
and a few seventy percent surprises
they never much even knew exist

So with a push and a shove
the masses stormed into the stores
grabbing the items like professional
thieves, making the racks empty,
unlike carrion of homeless asleep on
the streets,

No one notice not a child in sight
fighting broke out and two were shot
the images of Ferguson shown on
every tv screen, is there a right-way
or wrong-way of fulfilling our needs
the philosophers pondered both scenes
of Amerika’s steal

And soon the malls emptied all
was spent, not a nickel was left
to give to the poor, the homeless
the hungry have nothing but ills
while big corporations make well
of the swill

Another great capitalist scam
could be heard in the distance
as sirens wailed, taking poor
and non spenders, off to their
over spent jails
