Black Friday
Black Friday
Black Friday
Up before dawn
Not because
I planned to pilgrimage
to the shrine of Mammon
at the mall
but because
the cat
needs to be fed
the dog
needs to be walked
morning prayers
need to be said.
Oh Lord Jesus Christ
Son of God
Have mercy on me
A sinner.
We each have
Our own sins.

And now, sadly, we hear about a man being trampled to death in a Wal-Mart.
Are the sale items that important?
I believe a pregnant woman was also crushed in that same crowd and miscarried her baby. It's really sad what people will do for this stuff (and the mob mentality is just scary).
