Micah 6:8
Ephesians 4:28
Yes, your life matters.
Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is the anniversary of the 21 February 1848 publication of the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. Yesterday's freewrite prompt word was Thrive and today's freewrite prompt word is Decay. Thus:
How to Write a Manifesto
Today, we write a manifesto.
Today, our second sentence starts with the first word of the first sentence.
We write a short sentence.
Then a shorter one.
Then a really, really long one that maybe doesn’t make any sense but is immediately followed by
One.
Word.
Sentences.
Then we make our point even clearer
By using fragmented prepositional phrases.
By repeating that first preposition.
By doing it a total of three times.
And then we have another really long sentence that builds up excitement for our overarching concept that is summed up in a word that makes absolutely no sense.
Decay.
And then we have yet another really long sentence that builds up excitement for our dénouement that completes our manifesto in a single word.
Thrive.
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
