Auction of Emotions

As i walk through the market today,
I see the emotions kept on display!
The bid is higher and calls are louder,
Hustle and bustle is between the clutter!
People gathering, and claiming so loud,
To me it's like a festival all around!
Crystal clear boxes of emotions resting,
And the auctioneers merrily chanting.
'To the  men and women take this home',
Enjoy your nights and days for sure.
Like a storm in the ocean is beginning,
The crowd of people were humming in!
Two hundred ,four and more dollars
With dirham,rupees and pounds gathered!
Pushing in,I wondered  what is in there ?
My curiosity began to rise up and flare.
I peeked in to find a glittering "lust",
Oh!No doubt people here will thrust!
To my surprise on the next row,
An old man was sitting seemingly low!
And an average looking box was laid,
A note beside read' Here kindness Stays'
Few people rested and walked away,
Yelled grumpy man  'take this you slay?
The next display was of 'sadness' and 'hate'
Well they both had no bid but equal rate!
Love was looking in hope at each face,
And People wanting it fought to bargain!
'Happiness' The Auctioneers were calling out
The attractive offerings was gathering crowd
Then I walked ahead  to witness the might,
The strength of 'Power' was a visible sight!
In another corner was sitting mercilessly 'Mercy'
Audience was scarce and no bid for this lonely!
The Auction of human Mind i whispered gently,
As i walked out of this market thinking of the need!
