Random Contest to Scope out Talent

Here is what I want for this contest. I want you to read the following rules. If you can abide by the rules, I would like you to enter a pre-write that fits within them. Simple enough right?

If you have not read the rules posted below, and you enter something that breaks them, I will remove the piece. However, you may fix it, or enter another.

I also have some other contests on my page. This one will close at random.

THE RULES:

*DO NOT BASH RELIGION>
*DO NOT RHYME>
*DO NOT CENTER POETRY>
*LEFT-ALIGN ONLY>
*NO FLASHY BACKGROUNDS>
*NO PORN< EMO> SUICIDE>
*FREE VERSE OR SHORT PROSE ONLY>
*NOTHING OVER 50 LINES>

HINT: I enjoy brevity, believe less is usually more, and would love you to throw in some vivid imagery.

That should do it. Please follow the rules. If you would like to enter a fresh write that is fine. Just make sure you also follow the rules. Thanks and I cannot wait to find some new talent, or appreciate ones I've already come to love and enjoy.
