~Her:~
Oh, the allure of brands,
Their packaging so grand.
I’m drawn to the deluxe,
Even when I know it’s a ruse.
~Me:~
Why do we fall for it,
This marketing blitz?
Is it the promise of luxury,
Or the status it gives us, you see?
~Her:~
I’m not sure, but I can’t deny,
The appeal of a brand that’s oh so high.
The way it makes me feel, so special and unique,
Even if it’s just a marketing technique.
~Soul:~ What things give you energy?
~Heart:~ Love.
~Soul:~ Love? But love can be both a source of energy and a drain. It can lift us up to the highest heights, or bring us down to the lowest depths.
~Heart:~ True. But it is the only thing that can truly energize our souls.
~Soul:~ How can that be?
~Heart:~ Because love is the essence of who we are. It is the force that connects us to all that is good and beautiful in the world. When we love, we are plugged into the infinite source of energy.
He paused,
and let the question hang in the air,
A heavy weight that pressed upon my heart.
I could see the numbers in his head,
Calculating the value of my life.
