This isnt a Fan Fic nor a fight club thing so i dont know where to put it.
This is something i wrote, and thought id share....so here.
What are your comments on it, does it give you a point im trying to make?

By: David Perault

Picture this:

Your in the middle of a room.
A dark room.
You see a feint light on one side
And on the opposite side, a bright light

You notice that both lights are doors.
One cracked.
And one open fully.

The open door is sin.
It’s tempting you
wanting you to choose that door.

And the cracked door is like God.
Showing you that he is there.
But you have to open the door.

If you choose the cracked door.
Then and only then are you rich.

If you choose the Fully open door.
Then you have choosen wrong.

I think if you're going for religious undertones and symbolism, don't straight-off say what the doors represent, have the reader/audience interpret them themselves.

Saying that if you pick God's door then you'll be rich sounds like something a Jehova's Witness would say. People might get the wrong idea about you if you post things like that :p

Yes, I was thinkning about that too. I was going to rewrite it if i got enough response on how it was. I didnt like how i ended it and when i was writing it, i was rushing through not thinking to alot of what i was saying, just trying to get some feint point across. I will rewrite it longer, and more detailed, making the point stronger, and more meaningful.

Oh I see the meaing. It's just that its been done before and people who don't "embrace God" are not drawn away from God like a moth to a flame of sin. they just choose against it. It's not liek God's the "hard path" or vice versa. It's a religious "CHOOSE GOD AND YOU ARE STRONG" which isn't even true.

And before you get in my face for being a "closed minded atheist" I'm a Roman Catholic who goes to church every week, unlike many other catholics I know who don't even go at all.

Though I do hate quoting regulations, I do feel it necessary to remind you that we do not like religious discussions to take place here. They only breed argument, incorrect and/or damaging generalizations, slander, and so forth. Please discontinue this topic. Comment on the literary piece as best you can without debating the religious message therein.

See, This is my way of interperting my story.
I wrote it for me. I could care less in what anyone thinks. Just the fact that i know i wrote it is fine with me. If you go to church or not. If im wrong or right. I wrote it the way it is and you can take it how you want.

I like it alot. I myself am a very faithful person, but im not sure which religion i want to follow. Every religion in existence points to evil and good. I know i dont want to go anywhere near evil.

Hat's off to you ES_Tank.. Im not sure if you know me, but i have written a couple threads here in this general genre. Nice to see somebody else round here interested in morals :cool:

Im glad im not the only one. I may not be the best writer, but im doing better than those not doing anything.

Here is something i have to post in here becuase someone thinks creating a diffrerent thread each time for a DIFFERENT topic is useless. So here
After the effects of tonight, i came home and wrote this, not knowing anywhere else to pure my thoughts into. Although this may suck, im not worried, as long as i got it out. If you get my point, Do you ever feel this way?

Trust
By David Perault


Everyone turns there back on you
You look and wonder why.

“what did I do?” you ask
No response.

You didn’t do anything wrong.
You did what you said you’d do.

But out of pure idiocy, blinded by truth
Disbelief sets in.

In telling the truth, no one has faith,
You kept your word.

Without proof there is nothing.
Without trust there is nothing.

Where has it gone?

Actually, if you are trying to be biblically symbolic, the sin door would be the one making you rich, but making it feel right. The God door would be the long strenuous but rewarding corridor.

How is sin tempting if it does not offer good material things? Faith is the long path that pays off, no?

In other words, I think your poetry is mismatched. But if that's what you're going for, then I still don't like it too much anyway. :\

(this was a FRIGGIN CRIT so I don't want any religious BS rammed up my ass for this post.)

HAHAHAHAH..Now that i think of it, you are right. When i was thinking of this and writing it, i was only thinking of minor things. SO when and if i rewrite this, i prob will put that in there. But the way i put it is, I wasn't trying to go into big detail on which offered. So i put that :)>

Here is something i just wrote, im guess im in the mood to write. Its called Where will you be?


Where will you be?

By: David Perault

Where will you be that awful day?

Some in a endless battle, bound to war.
Some in a home with their loved ones.

Some will be fighting fires, and saving the world.
Some will be eating chips and drinking sodas.

Some will be in Church, praying to god.
Some will be worriless, and continue on.

Some will try to get right.
Some will try to start fights.

Some in a endless hell.
Some in a endless happiness.

But……..

Where will you be that awful day?

What the hell is this bs? If you're trying to be profound, you have failed miserably.

No, I am not trying to be profound. I wanted to i would spend some time on these. But im not. At the moment, I am writing what is on my mind, and questions I would like awnsers. They can be taken both ways. If you think about some, they can get deep, although the words may not be there to take you to that depth.

These aren't the type of questions you need answers to -_-. I read them, i thought about them, and i have once again come to the conclusion that you're trying to be profound. Im sorry, but these poems are as deep as a kiddy pool.

Zeonix he doesn't need you to flame him. He hasn't ask for flame, has he? And this is not a place to flame him, so leave it to a p.m. *omgawd i sound so mahdish*

Anywayz, some of the poems made me think such as the first one. I cannot explain why at the time, but it triggered something in my mind.
