You may have drunk cartons full of mineral water; quenching your thirst under the scorching sun of midday,
But what about those people reeling under severe drought; whose wells you had emptied to tingle the food in your stomach?
You may have lived for a 100 years; surviving on the most conventional of medicine and steroids,
But what about those innocent whom you had slaved; in order to clean every iota of dirt you spat on this earth?
And you may have loved; imprisoning every girl you set your eyes on with the
power of your wealth,
But what about all those billion lives you had assassinated; in order to satisfy
each desire of yours?
13. BEARDED
I didn’t need a pair of scissors; glistening wildly in yellow Sunlight,
I didn’t need a knife; protruding gallantly from the slender handle,
I didn’t need a hostile blade; with edges as sharp as a savage vulture,
I didn’t need after shave cologne; emanating a scent more stupendous than the rose,
I didn’t need a pungent slab of aluminum; having its surface as smooth as white ice,
I didn’t need a soft sponge; with its body profusely dipped in tingling antiseptic,
I didn’t need tablets of colored soap; evolving a bath of bubbles after vigorous scrubbing,
I didn’t need high pressured foam; diffusing into a stream of spicy froth the instant I compressed it,
I didn’t need long spools of cotton; triangular heaps of bandages to drape across my wounds,
I didn’t need shimmering tweezers of pure steel; to scrupulously pluck my hair,
I didn’t need sleazy colored dye; with its shade resembling rotten vegetables decaying in the dark,
I didn’t need a blow dryer; ejecting out tones of hot air at whirlwind speeds,
I didn’t need a barrel of vanity powder; to spuriously illuminate the contours of my face,
I didn’t need a bowl of moisturizing cream; to incessantly massage each pore of my skin,
I didn’t need sizzling face pads; to caress the breath flowing harmoniously out of my nose,
I didn’t need a mirror; to admire my reflection for marathon hours in the
scintillating glass incorporated within,
I didn’t even need to waste a single second more in the morning; reaching the office well before the boss came in,
And the strange thing was; that even if someone donated all the above contraptions to me completely free; I still would blatantly reject them,
By now you must be at the edge of your seats to know the secret of my existence; well the answer to this is more simpler than your voice; as I didn’t have even
the slightest of free space on my cheeks; or to put it more succinctly I was bearded
14. A SINGLE DEVIL
A single rotten apple with flies feasting on its succulent body; decays the entire ensemble of robust apples,
A single stain of black dye sprawling rampantly; spoils the beauty of the entire white fabric,
A single hole in its heavy and metallic body; uncouthly drowns the entire ship,
A single stream of venom oozing gently; contaminates the entire river of impeccable milk,
A single bit of sewage smelling fetidly; annihilates the beauty of the entire garden laden with blossoming petals,
A single virus in the blood stream; metamorphoses the individual from rubicund and healthy to insane and sick,
A single particle of dandruff loitering in animosity; pollutes the entire conglomerate of lustrous and shining hair,
A single nail overgrown and dirty; imperils the look of the entire palm embossed with mystical lines,
A single dark cloud in the cosmos; adulterates the entire sky which is blue and
crystal clear,
A single town clock running late; delays the life of the entire city; with most of the people yawning as the sun crept up in brilliant afternoon,
A single loophole in the house; entices the entire team of burglars to maraud at will; pilfer stealthily through closed doors at night,
A single crack in the bone; foments the entire leg to walk in contorted pain; limp across the road for mercy,
A single spark of white electricity; electrocutes the entire family; triggering the house to explode in volatile fury,
A single crease in the crisp shirt; debases the entire demeanor which was otherwise quite sparkling and flawless,
A single snore thunderously emanating; breaks the silence of tranquil and
blissful sleep,
A single shiver down the petrified spine; engenders the snake to pierce its lethal fangs and bite,
A single stroke of stringent red; disturbs the harmony of the otherwise splendid marksheet,
A single lie spoken; condemns a person beyond all anecdotes of his honesty,
And a single devil in the mind; not only ruins all the sanctity previously existing; but also finishes a person in mind, body and eternal soul.
