Sermon in The Parking Lot
staying idle, praying in silence, paging the bible
the adoration of idols.. I had to make my arrival Enter Black Friday. a bleak morning in November, the date well marked the deprived assembled before the gates of Walmart waiting for Halmarks, products made mortals realized by an unholy spirit of Capitalism any soul materialized an eerie sight, packs of hungry customers on stand-by the paradigm of these times, "give in to the franchise" It's high time for mankind to rise beyond cheap bargains my preaching started between the meat and the market uhm, pardon, I am Harbinger, transcendence incarnate so please seize gazing at me like I'm mentally retarded inhabitants of the Mall, I call upon your innate awareness I'm quite embarrassed, how humanity is just "care-less" dignity done perished, you're like androids solely sleeping consumerism will never feed the empty void in your being no sign of agreement, they looked at me like true scum -hey, this is too dumb! who in the hell is this rude bum? listen to the truth son! now I might sound soft here but your brains are running on corrupted software heed our lord's prayer; into temptation yall been seduced individual significance reduced to what's being produced bought, consumed, for corporations to meet some goal let the real be told; consumption will deplete your soul! silence filled the air, all I heard was a slack sound from the gentle wind breezing in the background sadly that drowned, as soon I started speaking loud pleaded the crowd; have my word reached you now? I felt calming peace around, they knew highness spoke but in a rather violent stroke, suddenly all silence broke no need for violence folks! but they stormed with rage enormous hate, and this was to be the Coming of Apes? some things don't change, agony was worrying imminent -how dare he patronize us - the hard working citizens! you're hurting an innocent! I said before losing cognizance it was ominous, my beaten body left with no consciousness grab that prophet's legs! and then firmly tape his ankles! some of corporate slaves wanted to make an example.. fate was entangled.. Father, is this truly your will, Lord? I plead this prayer while being pinned to a neon billboard.. I searched inward, If I had any ego it would be offended and to bluntly end this.. I don't have a clue if humans ever could be amended.. |

The concept you employed here was original and the highlight of the verse (to me, at least). I also appreciate your somewhat simplistic approach as you managed to strike the balance of direct language/accessible lyricism and the overarching narrative quite well. The simpler patterns, in fact, aided the concept to be the focal point here. While the ending was somewhat predictable, given it's a 'closed' narrative with linear structures and references, it made for a very interesting read.

I thought this was a decent read, Concrete.
Was a sufficient topical you choose to write about. Had all the essentials for a easy read, and good flow. I enjoy the preaching topic, is quite good to read about. The setting of the story in relating to preaching; - is quite silly; - it doesn't need to happen. I would suggest a lower man than a preacher go preach. However, in this written it's not a preacher but someone of lower detail - which is okay. I don't see anything wrong with this. It's written quite well. You tend to be a bit too simple at times; but that's okay. You have a decent use of syntax which helped the story. I would just choose a different setting next time; - because it reads silly; - lol. But that was a okay read. Nice one, Concrete. Keep writing.! |
