And there was nothing like office in the dictionary of my mind; as I was overwhelmingly busy in composing poetry; engrossed in poetic fantasy and entirely

  oblivious to the vagaries of this mercenary world.

  Lord; that I cared a damn about this world

  49. WHO COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED 

  Who could have ever imagined that the flower so redolent and fresh in the morning; would one day collapse towards the ground in a shriveled heap? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the grass so green and lush in bustling autumn; would resemble a ghastly brown in the middle of inclement winter? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the waves swirling vivaciously in the heart of the ocean; would be frigid streams of water as they reached the silver shorelines? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the poignant candle flames illuminating the atmosphere; would eventually die a cowardly death with the slightest of breeze? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the succulent fruit of raspberry; would gruesomely rot and decay in an ambience of dead straw? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the immaculate and crisp fabric of shirt in the morning; would develop a plethora of blotches after undergoing the tyranny of the day? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the profoundly scintillating chain of white silver; would one day evolve peels of deplorable rust? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the milk so revitalizing and tingling; would transit into bitter cream; after a few hours of exposure in stringent light? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the formidable fortress constructed of exquisite quality iron and mortar; would one day lie blended with the dust; after undergoing the aftermath of a devastating earthquake?

  Who could have ever imagined that the cluster of teeth so scintillating and white at dawn; would transit their demeanor into a pallid yellow after consuming the first meal of the day? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the crystalline gurgling stream cascading down mountain slopes in the peak of monsoon; would be a mere trickle of its original self in acerbic heat of summer? 

  Who could have ever imagined that crimson blood circulating rampantly through the veins; would metamorphose itself into a colorless liquid; when struck with deadly cancer? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the appetizing slice of toast dipped in mesmerizing marmalade; would transform into a lackluster chunk of bread; after marathon time of proximity with the mosquitoes? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the jungle looking so enchanting in daylight; would be a ghastly black soon after stars appeared in the firmament of sky? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the luxury sedan embodied with glistening interiors and lightening speeds; would be deserted on the solitary pavement; squelched to threadbare junk after the gruesome accident? 

  Who could have ever imagined that the eyes so exuberant and lively in the morning; would become overwhelmingly dreary and blurred; as nightfall strangulated the light in entirety? 

  Who could have ever imagined that stupendously melodious tunes of music emanating from the throat; would after a while become discordantly appalling when the vocal chords were exhausted? 

  Who could have ever imagined that sparkling and transparent patches of sky; would wholesomely lose their entity; after being inundated with ominous clouds; suddenly without any sort of prior notice?

  And who could have ever imagined that man so robust and bustling in youthful fervor; would one day lie buried in his corpse; waiting for the Creator to recreate

  him again?

 

  50. REPLACEMENTS 

  If bricks in the edifice were replaced by inflated balloons,  

  The colossal structure would tumble down on earth; like a pack of soft plastic cards. 

  If acerbic blades of the ceiling fan were; replaced with satiny Persian cloth,  

  I would be able to kiss the contraption; even when revolving at full speeds. 

  If coarse cloth of jagged trouser; was replaced with succulent candy floss,  

  There would be a battalion of red ant crawling up; devouring the sumptuous meal. 

  If a cluster of calcium teeth; were replaced by intricate fillings of wrought iron, 

  The individual would have the prowess to chew the hardest of stone; yet not be able to smile. 

  If the gargantuan body of saline ocean; was replaced by ponds of still water, 

  There would be no whales swimming; with frothy waves disappearing into oblivion. 

  If salubrious juice of jaggery; was replaced by chemical sugar,  

  A myriad of bowels would expurgate themselves; relinquishing taste. 

  If shards of obdurate crystal glass; were replaced by gelatine paper,  

  There would be a chain of robberies committed all day; with the burglars sleeping sedately throughout the night. 

  If every iota of soil on ground; was replaced by granules of exquisite silver,  

  There would be no penurious existing on earth; with all green foliage ceasing to grow. 

  If the metal wings of aircraft; were replaced by pure cotton,  

  The plane would acrobatically nosedive towards the ground; assassinating slim hopes of survival. 

  If entwined bones of body; were replaced by plum juice,  

  The body would inevitably collapse on the ground; diminishing all hopes of plausible autopsy. 

  And if humans on the globe; were replaced by mechanized robots,  

  A plethora of tasks would be executed to meticulous perfection,  

  And the most versatile organism; would fatally succumb without learning the art of love. 

  The End .
