Black Friday Doom

Dark clouds
Black Friday
Rain
Just gloom
People, far too many waiting for their uncertain doom
Not the way to head into a weekend
What with fear of job, financial, life security in general
Dominating the mind
Disturbing the stomach
Dashing hopes, leaving dreams on hold
The future so cloudy
Damn, how did it get like this?
And why now?
Got a new prez in office, a black man on top of it
Supposed to be elevating
Yet here we are, everyday jobs by the countless lost
Hearts crushed
Damn, what will tomorrow be like if today is like this
If today is all dark, full of gloom and doom?
Which is why we all need to pray today,
Oh Lord, please keep us strong, please keep us grounded
Please clean our windshields
And help us see that we are still blessed
Even on this Black Friday day
Of uncertain doom.
