Black Friday, Gray Thursday – v2

We grieve for the lack of faith
for the disbelief in God
for the merchandise, the junk
that gets in the way of worship
Another sign, surely
of the end times, of Satan,
Black Friday, Gray Thursday
shopping without end
Nothing of Jesus, of the Christ
of our Savior, our Lord
all of us lost sheep
lost, gorged on the world
