25. MORBID STRUCTURE OF CREATION

 

I altruistically stared at the wall,

Pale and white with a few blemishes,

A solid fortress of cement concrete,

Embellished with multiple coats of rich paint,

A silent barrier impregnated with juxtaposed bricks,

Fiery red; burnt brown and black,

The acting alloys of the nonchalant structure,

Firmly sealed to its fecund foundations,

Embedded deep in intricate recesses of mud,

Which cries out loud with every inch of vertical invasion,

Radiating rampantly with discordant ease; with every unfurling minute,

Breaking the harmony of the coagulated network; of trillions of soil molecules,

Rendering them hopeless and haphazardly scattered,

As the morbid structure of creation,

Painstakingly penetrates into deep oceans of dark mud.
