The sale bait
Walking on the street
surrounded by concrete
I lift my eyes up high
I read a sign BUY, BUY
I wonder WHY, WHY, WHY
I'd rather not comply
What is the thing with sale?
It puts on us a veil
Don't buy if you don't need
start planting freedom's seed!

This is my entry to the weekly writing contest #ZapFic50Friday; a short story-poem using the prompt "sale".
#ZapFic50Friday is a literary initiative from the Freewriters Community in which participants use the prompt provided to write a story of exactly 50 words.
I enjoyed your poem :) Indeed- ditch consumerism and invest in life 🔥
Welcome to Hive, also! I hope you have a wonderful time here :) There are so many fun writing initiatives here! The Ink Well has two weekly prompts, Scholar and Scribe does a variety of contests, and Freewriters does as well (including the weekly zap fic engagements) I look forward to seeing more of your writing 😁🤗
Thanks so much @grindan for the warm welcome and all the tips. It's so exciting to be discovering such inspiring communities in here. I love the writing initiatives and I'll try to keep up with as many as possible! Looking forward to reading more of your work too :)
