SPACE THEY CANNOT TOUCH.
Within you is a weak part of the soul
that can be bought for a price
and a strong part of the soul
that can never be bribed or compromised.
The strong part of your soul is defiant
but needs to be resilient
if you want to know yourself
and like yourself out of genuine integrity.
Buy the more expensive grain
for the camel who needs to caravan a long ways.
Invest in time, meditation, and nourishment
for the virtuous soul that needs to live a long life.
This is the space they cannot touch
with ads, or interest rates, or promises
of how you will look wearing this or driving that
or living here or traveling there.
It is the higher soul,
that touches the face of God
and it has been within you all along.
