A moment of silence for Macy's
This broken shell of a luxury store
On the once Magnificent Mile
The windows are shattered
The clothing racks ransacked
The lavish apparel apparently ravished
And broken glass down every aisle
A moment of silence for Gucci
Our dearly beloved brand now so defiled
An ave for Louis Vuitton
Whose purses went rolling
Like heads of French monarchs
A requiem for Nordstrom whose shoes have been torn from
The shelves and are sadly all gone
A moment of silence for Apple
Whose iPhones and Macbooks were savagely plundered
In one night of chaos and sin
And Best Buy, and Walgreens
And even poor Potbelly's
And Block 37 and 7-11
All victims of senseless break-ins
Of course these were criminal actions
And we will indict and convict and lock up
These hoodlums who dared to transgress
Look, here are the pieces
Of an ATM, broken,
And all the cash registers seem to be stolen
So clearly this wasn't protest
Although, there is some speculation
That some of these high-end shops may have been targeted
Like some kind of raid on the rich
But that doesn't matter
(Much like the young man
Who may or may not have been shot by police)
Now a prayer for Abercrombie and Fitch...
