People in stores

By Michelle Morris
People in the store
Moving like zombies
Through aisles and choices
Displays of Western privilege

Marking each step
Further and further away
From the life of those who
Have little to feed their bellies

But much to fill their souls
As they form communities
Who stand together
Surviving and thriving in joy

Whilst people in stores
Buy so many things
That they don't need
Feeding empty souls

Souls that hunger for more
But being incomplete
In their aloneness
Distracted by music and media

Missing each other
Walking by others - disconnected
People in stores
Whose hearts and minds hurt

Betrayed by systems
Harmed by experiences
Flailing to keep from being
Washed away by emotions

While people in stores
Don't notice the secret signs
The need to truly connect
With each other like we could

Like we should
For we are one
The Universe's stardust
Is part of our sparkle

If only we would shine
And communicate with each other
A smile, a kind word, a helping hand
As we are not just people in stores

We are one human family
Infinite souls
Connected in eternity
Throughout the Universe and World
