Sweet hair just before the hippies

Riddle:
What was solidly two forms has become fluid
Be correct by reaching for infinite verbiage
Ask before introduction to avoid offense
Microaggressions buried the white picket fence
When the obvious was assigned by all doctors
They were not shy about sex after most labors

Answering a player’s question:
“A soul is the mind of a sentient being. All such beings have one. Animals do not. They are shaped by internal and external forces. They form within spiritual energy which can be gathered by a number of means. Souls can go wherever the spiritual energy they are nested within goes. A typical person’s soul will be colored by their experience in life and this will be reflected in their aura.

See deeper thoughts below:

Though colloquially spirit and soul are synonymous those in the know understand that spirit best refers to energy with intent and a soul is sentience nested within spiritual energy. So fire can have spirit which can be formed into an elemental servant of sorts, but if this elemental forms sentience it earns the additional label of devil.

Souls are gateways to potential. They are stars in the spiritual landscape. Creatures like dogs and cats have something like gas giants in this analogy or maybe some kind of dim dwarf star, but generally they are not sought after for their light.

Spirits have an aura. Spirits with a soul have an aura with five hues, representing alignment, type, power, sanity, and connectivity. All five are required for sentience. Each hue has a distinctive pattern style and visually blends the five symbolic colors, blue, black, red, green, white. This can be read like a snapshot of a soul.”

Riddle:
Gather smiles like a Christmas turkey
Be a pack rat but more of a foodie

If you will deny daylight
how can I point to the sun?
Your mind is a dogmatic
masterpiece of delusion.
I would kill you where you stand
to destroy this infection.
Equality of outcome
it won’t die with martyrdom.
So, I try again with sense—
the race, how many have won?
Equal opportunity
means there can be only one.
If you dare claim day is night
prove your censure with action.
Go blind staring at moonlight—
the righteous lie is undone.

Riddle:
It is a marvel to experience a low key ending
But if the old in the new offends rear views
Thorny truths poison sutured wounds
Before that fever, beware drips causing convulsions
They foretell an onset of Disco rage, not Rock
So, embrace New-age music and drink Mountain Dew.
