Selling souls of people

On a green planet, live a group of creatures,

And they give creatures of other planets lectures

about how to behave and dress in a society

where everybody goes to a sparkling shop to buy mediocrity.

There is this shop which sparkles at night attracting people from other planets. 

When the aliens arrive at the shop they discover that they have to sell their souls to buy this stuff called "mediocrity". 

One soul can buy you half a lifetime of mediocrity and creatures really get excited about hearing that. 

There is a sparkling shop where every creature of the green planet goes to sell their souls

and come back to their sheds hollow and happy.

One day a creature who had already sold its soul realises that soul is what fed it and after living half of its soulless life, 

It sees that there is another shop at the backyard of its house where apparently you can get back your soul. I wonder why it didn't see the shop before!

it gets back its soul and lives fully and faithfully until the soul is released to the universe.

On the green planet, there is a sparkling shop where everybody goes to buy mediocrity.
