Black Friday

Black Friday is appealing to everyone’s greed,

buy loads of consumer shit you don’t really need,

it is not a bargain if what they are selling you is crap,

just you try and take it back.

Selling you they stuff that they could not shift,

tone down the price to be more realistic,

but it is all still a rip off in the end,

find something better to do rather than just spend,

because the advertisers have told you too,

because the media says wow! ‘too good to be true’,

the truth it’s not good for you,

because they’re mugging you and that’s the real truth.

  1. Go to any Goodwill/reuse store and you’ll see thousands of items that people just had to have…and then didn’t. It’s a great lesson in seeing the impermanence of desire, and the futility of all the stuff we think we need. Brilliant post!
