Piranhas Shopping Frenzy

Shoals of frenzied greedy piranhas
still hungry after the lavish feast
Eyes awide on mass they stream
and crowd the streets.

Some have camped out all night
until the morning light
and the temple doors of worship
open wide
and people rush inside.

Buying anything in site
pushing and shoving
grabbing snatching
ending up in a fight
Buying things they don't even need. 

So is the season of shopping and greed.

'Wonder what Jesus would think'?.
