The Sale Bait - #ZapFic50Friday

in Freewriters2 years ago (edited)

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 a statue in the city center of Thessaloniki, Greece. To me it symbolises breaking free from the toxic habits that the city life entails, such as consumerism.

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.
