Chest Out, Gun In Pocket by ~Broadcraig:iconBroadcraig:



We've got a castrating,
Confusing,
Armour plated,
Suit and tie,
With trousers to die for

We've got a briefcase,
With subtle notes,
Business plans and
Pennies
Because you think they're lucky

We've got a shoelace,
Untied and
Untouched,
Just the way we like,
To see our girls...

As they walk into the light,
With a gun in hand,
Cleaner than a laundrette,
Brighter than the stars at night,
Do they pass the interview?
Do they get the job?
[Yeah...right...]

This is very cool. But I think it would be better if you took out some of the commas; it would read better and seem more naturally fluid. For example, in the first stanza, if you left out the comma after 'armor-plated' and after 'suit and tie' it would at once appear more forceful. A comma, when read, generally indicates a pause and a pause indicates a passive voice. I think this work would be at once be more forceful with the exclusion of certain commas and take on an active voice, a voice closer to the narrator's own thoughts about the subject. As for the subject, excellent satire through sarcasm.

Also, I think the second stanza would sound better like this:
We've got a briefcase,
With subtle notes and business plans,
Pennies and dimes.
Because you think they're lucky, you think they're successful.


Bah but maybe i'm entirely wrong and shouldnt tread all over this work.

Job well done in the end.

Yeah, the comma thing is just a natural its the end of a line must put a comma thing which i really need to get out of the habit of doing ahahah!

Thanks for the help :]

Wow, I love the conciseness (is that a word) of this piece. I think the first three stanzas are pearticularly good. The lines "just the way we like / to see our girls" has so much impact. Great job!

aHH LiKE.
