There were about 15 people in line in front and behind Speaking , loud and clear I found some money here on the floor If you tell me the correct amount It’s yours out the door People looked at each other in silence, Checking their wallets purses pockets It might sound absurd, but No One said a word The woman’s friend said Well, if nobody claims it, it’s yours! More shopping more stores! Still, the woman thought What if it was my money I lost She would hope the person who found it Would do the right thing, return it at all cost So once more, she speaks up and out To ease her doubt If anyone finds in the store Somebody upset They lost money on the floor Send them my way If the correct amount they can say I will give it to them right away.

All year, you waited on Black Friday Just to Feed your Indulgence. After, comes broke Saturday, Which is partly spent in silence. Next is Prayerful Sunday Off to church for solace. Next comes Monday, a workday. Wearing things you don't need. Home stuck with material things You've been finessed by greed Yet your task is what today brings. At home, you hear the bell as it rings, And look at the watch on your hand. A man strikes on the guitar strings Then a song raised by another friend. At least all your friends are here Time to party and enjoy yourself Bring me some wine over here Time to celebrate my materialistic life! ©IB-Poetry 24/11/2018

Finessed By Black Friday

All year, you waited on Black Friday Just to Feed your Indulgence. After, comes broke Saturday, Which is partly spent in silence. Next is Prayerful Sunday Off to church for solace. Next comes Monday, a workday. Wearing things you don't need. Home stuck with material things You've been finessed by greed Yet your task is what today brings. At home, you hear the bell as it rings, And look at the watch on your hand. A man strikes on the guitar strings Then a song raised by another friend. At least all your friends are here Time to party and enjoy yourself Bring me some wine over here Time to celebrate my materialistic life! ©IB-Poetry 24/11/2018

We all come together on this one particular holiday and be thankful for all the things we own. How can one be thankful for things they own when they are trampling over each other to reach sales. Don't get me wrong I was there to and I am thankful for the things I own but I will not beat a man nor woman for a simple tv that's only a hundred dollars less than the original price it's crazy but hey I'm thankful for the sales too. I'll just wait till monday.

A creation from big corporations Living to buy till the day you die Looking for the best deals, seems like a steal But its a trap, a well hidden trap LED TVs you don't need Black watch you've already got Smart phones the same as you own Subconsciously told where to go, what to get, we forget what is really important. The friends and family, strong relationships, And fellowships that make us fortunate. Spend time on those we still got Because that can't be bought,
