18. THERE WAS NOTHING BORN ON EARTH

There was nothing born on earth; whiter than frosty white cow milk,

There was nothing born on earth; saltier than the saline sea,

There was nothing born on earth; redder than the intensely emollient scarlet rose,

There was nothing born on earth; more green than the blades of grass protruding from fresh soil,

There was nothing born on earth; purer than crystal spray of water cascading down the mountain,

There was nothing born on earth; more pungent than piquant slices of red chili,

There was nothing born on earth; more transparent than the human eye,

There was nothing born on earth; more sensitive than the throbbing heart,

There was nothing born on earth; more rotten than raw pig manure,

There was nothing born on earth; more effusive than a flurry of tears dribbling down the cheek,

There was nothing born on earth; more tenacious than resplendently strong beams of the moon,

There was nothing born on earth; more reinvigorating than a glass of natural coconut water,

There was nothing born on earth; more supple than the skin of an innocuous infant,

There was nothing born on earth; more eloquent than the mesmerizing voice of the nightingale,

There was nothing born on earth; more sweeter than succulent sticks of farm sugarcane,

There was nothing born on earth; more handsome than the majestically swirling electric blue dolphin,

There was nothing born on earth; more provoking than a helpless cry,

There was nothing born on earth; more thorny than the king cactus extruding from silver desert mud,

There was nothing born on earth; more slippery than the glistering sand,

There was nothing born on earth; more vociferous than the growl of the panther,

There was nothing born on earth; more dominating than the inner voice of the conscience,

There was nothing born on earth; more benevolent than serving mankind,

There was nothing born on earth; more beautiful than a persons mother,

There was nothing born on earth; more powerful than the Creator,

And there was nothing born on earth; more invincible than true love.
