Black Friday Blackened

 
 
The Day after the Day which we celebrate our
(obscene) material privil'edge, we should
shutter the stores,
wear black,
vow 24 hours of silence, fasting, and abstinence,
in honor to the billions of souls who, over the ages of human  
                         superiority,
 have spent their Entire lives on earth, in  
abject poverty, homelessness, starving, and worse (unjustly killed,
 enslaved, imprisoned, abused, tortured, terrorized, subjected to genocide,..Et.al.....at the hands of fellow  humans.
 
And then there's Mother Earth, from whom we violently and care-less(ly), eXtract our
"God given" Good Fortune,  then, so fucking carelessly destroy, pollute, amd egocentrically Re-Model, with the by-products this, our wealth (of the precious few), and the gratification and comfort we so righteously deserve.
 
Silence. Fasting.
I fear such would be overwhelmingly impossible in the (God-blesses The),
 United States of  America.
          No doubt.
