Vaughn, That is really a good poem! It is too bad other people give in to those things so easily. It takes a strong person to stand up and say they won't give in to those types of things. God Bless You Sincerely, Lori Reed

I appreciate this poem...perhaps it will make me more aware as to when I may be inadvertently placing my soul up for sale.

Wonderfully phrased!

If more people had the integrity, the strength to answer "my soul is not for sale", the whole world would change.

I am not an idealist, I am a realist: if we are not overcome by fear, the world will really change.

Very insightful and well-crafted piece of writing!

Greetings,

Axilea

Reading MY SOUL IS NOT FOR SALE! brings to mind the Biblical verse, "Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's. Render unto heaven, that which is heaven's." Few exercise such a definitive sense of personal spiritual integrity these days but this poem is a strong reminder of the value of such integrity.
