6. A WRITER WITHOUT A PEN

 

A writer without a pen; is like a dog deprived of its magnanimously furry tail,

A writer without a pen; is like the jungle woodpecker without a beak,

A writer without a pen; is like a musician without a melodious voice,

A writer without a pen; is like a cluster of fish deprived of saline water,

A writer without a pen; is like the celestial body of Sun bereft of brilliant rays,

A writer without a pen; is like the colossal persona of blackboard without

colored chalk,

A writer without a pen; is like the desert without astronomical amounts of scorched sand,

A writer without a pen; is like the cow stripped of its angular horn,

A writer without a pen; is like the exquisite sedan divested of aromatic fuel,

A writer without a pen; is like a red ant without its poignant sting,

A writer without a pen; is like a well laid concrete road without congested traffic,

A writer without a pen; is like a bird without its pair of indispensable wings,

A writer without a pen; is like warm quilt without stuffing if wool,

A writer without a pen; is like a grandiloquent chess board without carved pieces,

A writer without a pen; is like a wrestler without bulging muscles,

A writer without a pen; is like a computer without a plethora of programmed chips,

A writer without a pen; is like the scintillating sword without a sharp edge,

A writer without a pen; is like a rustic panther without its vociferous growl,

A writer without a pen; is like an oyster without immaculate pearl,

A writer without a pen; is like the preposterously huge blue whale without teeth,

A writer without a pen; is like black thunderous clouds in the cosmos without pelting rain,

A writer without a pen; is like sticky puddles of glue without adhesive power,

A writer without a pen; is like a bank vault without crisp notes of currency,

A writer without a pen; is like the sacrosanct Bible without umpteenth parables of  holy literature,

A writer without a pen; is like man existing on earth without mystical traces of love,

Therefore it is my vehement plea to all writers treading on the soil of this earth,

Lift the contraption of pen and ink in your philanthropic hands,

Voraciously inundate blank sheets of paper; with infinite lines of effusive literature,

Thereby portraying the power of your thoughts; transmitted with great efficacy

by the innocuous pen.
