I Saw The Light Poem by B.J. Ayers

I saw the light, or so they say
Not from above, but far below,
I thought and thought, then it finally came,
I knew what to do, what a glorious day

Entertainment is what I sought,
So I went to Wall-mart, but not to buy
I sat and watched as they marched by,
The fat, the skinny, my eye they caught,

The red, the brown, no hair at all,
Pushing their carts, as they passed by,
Screaming kids, with diapers filled,
With annoying parents, as I recall

Some wore shirts, some wore pants,
Some wore very little at all,
Chewing gum and texting they were
Like Bumper cars in a rant,

I sat and gazed at their filled carts,
As they passed by, running over my toes,
I saw the light, or so I thought,
Then I realized, it was only Wall-Mart.
