( Written for What do you see # 210- 30 October, 2023 )
Three tiny ghosts’ figurines once looked at the mirror,
The question to settle was who was the king of terror,
They all boasted for self and laughed,
Mirror laughed too, made them paused..
Haven’t you met a HUMAN yet, said being a little grimmer.
HUMAN merely means here “those inhuman-ghostly feelings and desires inside” which are mostly hidden, but do come out sometimes when coming across another human showing those hidden ones intentionally.
I am also embedding a lovely song from the Great M. Jackson, if you all can corelate it to the prompt and the lines thereto-

nicely done… and a lovely song 🤍
Sincere thanks always, D..
How right you are JM. Humans are much more scarier then mere ghosts. Love the song too. Thanks for joining in.
Sincere thanks and regards, Sadje ji.

You guys are both so right about this… Our species is terrible in too many ways 🙁

Yes, and the only specie who is bent on self destruction.
This piece creatively portrays a moment when three tiny ghost figurines encounter their reflections in the mirror and realize that the true terror lies within humans. It’s a thought-provoking take on inner desires and hidden feelings. The Michael Jackson song link adds an interesting dimension to the prompt. 📖🎵
