United we stand; divided we fall
The solitary plant on soil shook to the most minuscule draught of wind;
buckled miserably under the influence of passing breeze,
While it was the cluster of trees which appeared resilient against the
most
tumultuous of storm; stood like a formidable fortress as the air
whizzed past
their demeanor in cyclonic succession.
A single cloud in the sky looked disdainful; lingered lackadaisically
without
precipitating for hours on the trot,
While it was the conglomerate of dense clouds in the cosmos; that
showered
rain unrelentingly; inundating every barren patch on earth with exotic
water.
The flame of the wax candle flickered flirtatiously; as the sultry
night
started to take a complete stranglehold on the day,
While it was the crackling bonfire that blazed tenaciously through the
darkness; profoundly illuminating the cloistered environment with
dazzling
rays of hope.
The puddle of water looked contemptuous; lying desolate after the
monsoons;
anxiously waiting to evaporate into thin wisps of oblivion,
While it was the ocean with an ensemble of swirling waves; rising high
and
flamboyant towards the sky; that was able to bear the weight of ships;
transport millions of passengers from one destination to another.
A single goat philandering on the hills looked pretty forlorn;
aimlessly
loitering around; groping wildly for the right path as the complexion
of day
transited into ephemeral dusk,
While it was the cluster of sheep which ambled audaciously; manipulated
the
meandering paths of the terrain; to reach their destination with
supreme
safety.
One soldier facing the marching enemies abysmally succumbed; collapsing
in a
petrified heap at the sight of gleaming guns and bombs,
While it was the battalion of stalwarts who fought valiantly till they
relinquished breath; dexterously swishing their swords to annihilate
the
advancing army.
As a single eye searched for the inconspicuous needle; trying to
unearth it
from amidst heaps of rotten leaves and corn; the task seemed virtually
insurmountable; with sighs of exasperation piercing loud and stringent
through
the atmosphere,
While it was only when several eyeballs rotated all around; were they
able to
spot the diminutive metal camouflaged subtly beneath a green banana
skin.
The manager looked disgruntled; making flagrant blunders as he buried
his head
in submission under a sheaf of monotonous papers; trying to run the
company
solely on his own,
While it was only when a team of professionals assembled together;
executed
their tasks to immaculate perfection; that the business prospered;
became a
name to cherish in the community.
And a single stick of candy snapped ludicrously into multiple
fragments; the
instant I applied on it the slightest of pressure,
While it was the 'UNITED BUNDLE OF STICKS'; which incorrigibly
refrained to
distort an inch; Infact gained loads more of raw strength; with each
attempt
of mine to wholesomely decimate it.

Urges
As the amber ball of sun peeped from white puffs of
clouds,
weak and languid beams of light caressed the earth,
engulfing pitch dark blackness with faint rays of
dawn,
prompting abrupt closures of artificial light,
there rose sporadic urges in the body to walk past
barriers of sleep.
as the football of blazing light grew colossal in
size,
acrid rays of light fell stringently on the ocean,
heating suspended dust and concrete tower,
illuminating the atmosphere with dazzling sunshine,
there arose thunderous urges in the body to start
work.
as the molten island of fire began sinking behind the
mountain,
faded pink currents of light overpowered the day,
cool waves of air descended down the network of roads,
naturally lit mulitfloor offices transited to murky
grey,
there arose hasty urges in the body to return back to
return to the place of
dwelling.
as the golden web of steam finally disappeared from
boundaries of vision,
overpowering darkness taking a stranglehold on light,
vehicular traffic now between few and sparse on the
carpet of road,
gruesome blackness imprisoning every iota of land and
space,
there arose an universal need in the body to hide
beneath the blanket and
sleep.

We're all humans
There wasn’t a brain born on this fathomlessly enchanting Universe; which came without its share of imbecile eccentricities; at times meandering into the aisles of wholesomely decrepit meaninglessness,
There wasn’t a lip born on this boundlessly captivating Universe; which came without its share of inexplicable sadness; at times solely embracing the most unprecedented apogees of lugubrious doom,
There wasn’t a throat born on this endlessly enthralling Universe; which came without its share of rambunctious cacophony; at times wafting into the bitterest tunes of hedonistic oblivion,
There wasn’t a finger born on this limitlessly emollient Universe; which came without its share of ludicrous anomalies; at times preposterously sketching the entire resplendently enamoring planet; wretchedly and incongruously upside down,
There wasn’t a foot born on this invincibly panoramic Universe; which came without its share of delirious stamping; at times meting its entire frustration upon blissful soil; till the last granule of mud was frigidly pulverized,
There wasn’t an eye born on this wonderfully ameliorating Universe; which came without its share of impoverished tears; at times inconsolably sobbing towards hysterical doom; even under the most blazingly unfettered rays of brilliant sunlight,
There wasn’t a chest born on this enigmatically Herculean Universe; which came without its share of deplorable fearfulness; at times inscrutably trembling towards the most pathetically dwindling of corpse; at the tiniest whisker of sound,
There wasn’t a stomach born on this pristinely uninhibited Universe; which came without its share of intermittently irascible gas; at times expurgating into the most pugnaciously fetid bellows of air; even whilst resting amidst perennially environmental bliss,
There wasn’t a mind born on this bountifully fructifying Universe; which came without its share of unexplainable illiteracy; at times helplessly staring at the most sagaciously pragmatic things; even though trained to unsurpassable epitomes of meritoriously royal education,
There wasn’t a mouth born on this gloriously untainted Universe; which came without its share of ungainly abuse; at times bursting into an uncontrolled volley of thwarted malice; just the very next instant after uttering the name of the Omnipotent Lord,
There wasn’t a bone born on this pricelessly inimitable Universe; which came without its share of dastardly weakness; at times bizarrely crouching an infinite feet beneath its shell; although the barbarous enemy was a million kilometers apart; and yet to arrive,
There wasn’t a skin born on this gregariously compassionate Universe; which came without its share of penurious sweat; at times culminating into an ocean of disdainfully salty water; when tension rode high and unprecedented even on the tip of freezing Everest,
There wasn’t a neck born on this triumphantly fearless Universe; which came without its share of restless turning; at times darting into a billion directions every instant; as if non-existent hell had rained down on planet divine,
There wasn’t an ear born on this victoriously burgeoning Universe; which came without its share of anomalous insensitivities; at times pretending to be ostentatiously deaf to even the most agonizingly tyrannized cries of living kind,
There wasn’t an eyelash born on this handsomely regal Universe; which came without its share of surreptitious flashing; at times unnecessarily flirting with the fairer sex at gay abandon; immediately after tying the immortal nuptial thread with godly wife,
There wasn’t a persona born on this unabashedly liberated Universe; which came without its share of maiming depression; at times writhing for countless hours on obdurate floor; desperately crying for no ostensible reason or rhyme,
There wasn’t a spine born on this undauntedly magnetic Universe; which came without its share of mysterious trembling; at times reverberating more ferociously than the devastating earthquake; at just a nimble touch of the nubile finger,
There wasn’t a heart born on this gigantically spell-binding Universe; which came without its share of irregular throbbing; at times skipping an infinite beats in a single instant; to directly reach the penultimate beat of veritable death,
There wasn’t a nostril born on this timelessly blossoming Universe; which came without its share of inexorable gasping; at times feeling indescribably asphyxiated for poignant breath; even in the most celestially iridescent of atmosphere,
And there wasn’t an organism born on this unlimitedly redolent Universe; which came without its share of humanitarian errors; at times forgetting its own name and holistic identity; even though blessed in every aspect of its existence by the Omnipresent Lord,
Simply because; we’re all humans; and try as hard as we could; we can never ever come even an infinitesimal fraction close to him; can never ever even dream to emulate his impregnably perfectionist ways; can never ever challenge his unassailable ways of human creation; can never ever become the Omniscient God…

What about him?
Even though you had beautifully sparkling eyes; with loads of charismatic fortitude entrapped in your bones; still you trembled at the thought of clambering up 100 floors of the colossal building without the escalator,
What about him who was perpetually blind; for whom the world was a cloud of gruesome darkness; right since innocuous childhood?
Even though you had voluptuous jewels of eye; Herculean stamina in the bulging muscle of your arm; still the very thought of crossing the jam packed chaotic road; sent inexplicable shivers down your slender spine, What about him who was perpetually blind; for whom there was nothing like brightness or light in the dictionary of the mind?
Even though you had marvelously sparkling pairs of diamond eyes; the stoical ability to confront the most disastrous situation with astronomical ease; still you severely rebelled the prospect of jumping out of the plane with a parachute strapped tightly,
What about him who was perpetually blind; for whom the world meant nothing else; but simply an amalgamation of different voice?
Even though you had supremely robust hazel eyes; an uncanny ability to solve mind boggling enigmas in split seconds; still the prospect of swimming with the menacing alligators in the marshy swamps gave you horrendous nightmares every unveiling night,
What about him who was perpetually blind, didn’t have even the most infinitesimal idea as to what were twinkling stars; what was blistering Sunlight?
Even though you had opalescent rainbow complexioned eyes; the supreme agility in your legs to leap with astounding ease over boundless hurdles at a time, still you wept uncontrollably at the onset of choosing your favorite shirt amongst millions of fabric strewn around,
What about him who was perpetually blind; didn’t even know as to whether the cloth engulfing his chest; was a garishly striped shirt or a trouser with swanky shine?
Even though you had mesmerizing blue eyes; invincible strength encompassing your entire demeanor; still you dreaded a trifle at the mention of going to acrimonious war,
What about him who was perpetually blind; who couldn’t perceive one bit about the mammoth boulder of stinging needles; just at whisker lengths from his body?
Even though you had phlegmatically cherry red eyes; and exuberant spirit of adventure profusely embedded in your stream of crimson blood; still you flinched a little in your subconscious mind; while nose-diving your jet as straight as an arrow from the cocoon of heavenly clouds towards the periphery of hard ground,
What about him who was perpetually blind; couldn’t walk a step further without leaning on his red and white cane stick?
Even though you had splendidly shimmering eyes; an insatiable yearning towards oligarchic literature; still you thought multiple times before attempting to write a million pages of poetry a day,
What about him who was perpetually blind; who didn’t even know how the 'L' of language looked like; persevered all his life caressing vaguely intricate Braille?
Even though you had astoundingly emphatic eyes; an unbelievable ability to judiciously discern thoroughly embedded in your mind; still you stared uncannily into open space; pondering on how would you ever meet the girl of your divinely dreams,
What about him who was perpetually blind; who couldn’t even make out whether it was a man or a woman until it stringently spoke?
And even though you had two pairs of dynamically fiery eyes; a flamboyant swirl encapsulating your visage at every step you strolled; still you weren't 100% confident of facing life; ruminated for marathon hours as to what would besiege you after your death; would there be celestial paradise or ghastly hell,
What about him who was perpetually blind; who hadn't witnessed the most minuscule trace of glow since he took his first breath; for whom the solitary silent room in which he resided; was his only paradise; his only hell?
