Modern Black Friday

Of course, Black Friday has a lot to do with money Similarly, Black Friday has plenty to do with slavery With the sale of strong black men and women at a discount That's how it was done a few years ago that we can count. Black Friday is about profits, about the less fortunate fighting For a good deal in countless stores, after the day of Thanksgiving Often, it's about making sacrifices to make unnecessary purchases People go berserk and crazy, wishing they could be in many places Or stores, ad hoc, in order to satisfy desires. I'm not saying to boycott Or to stay at home pigging out or crying, however, please do your part Be alert. Be conscious of the meaning and significance of Black Friday Do a prayer for our ancestors and be aware of this very special day Buy what you need, not what you want. Be careful with your money Money is as precious as blood. And money can enslave wants and envy. Copyright © November 2019, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.
