Not a supermarket soul

by ashish-gupta

Through the rejections and all the hate, Just before your faith crosses the Pearly Gates, Though allegedly claimed impossible by the Fates^, taps you on your weary shoulder - "Hi, could you help me, no one else is ...” - the lonely voice of your soul-mate^^. ^Rumour has it those Greek hags have stock options in the military-industrial complex, the cosmetics industry, and favour Eris's 21st century avatar called Consumerism. ^^Your soul is not a super-market produce, For feckless mass appreciation or consumption. Your soul is a dauntless beautiful sapling, that 'the one' will rescue from its interminable fire, and nurture it, till it blossoms and glows.

(Inspired by a lovely young poetess who is sad her

mirror fails to hallucinate beauty in her unlike the mirrors

of her friends, who all share the same distorted dillusions.)
