14. I WANTED TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

 

The nimble blades of grass sprouting from soil; wanted sumptuous sunshine for

nutrition,

The boisterous squirrels clambering on the tree; wanted a

The reptiles slithering mystically through a labyrinth of blend of insect and large succulent leaf,

The frogs croaking in discordant cacophony; wanted blotted ponds of water to bathe and make merry,

The mystically radiant reptile slithering through jungle bush; wanted

innocuous trespassers; to sting,

The pearly white mushrooms growing rampantly in the fields; wanted tinges of disdainful dirt,

The hunch backed camel traversing through the abysmally hot desert; wanted revitalizing refreshments of water,

The uncanny spider spinning its web with dexterity; wanted to devour unsuspecting prey entangled in vicinity,

The ostentatiously inflated persona of balloon; wanted to soar at unprecedented heights in the air and fly,

The diminutive body of matchstick; wanted to incinerate mammoth buildings and produce fire,

The majestic leopard galloping through the forest, wanted to capsize its prey; pulverize it to pieces,

The ubiquitous birds flying in the sky; wanted to reach back their nests before the onset of perilous night,

The ravenous waves of the sea blended perfectly in full Sunlight; wanted to rise high; collide with the jagged rocks and eventually die,

The brown eyed looking impeccable goat; wanted to consume lots of corn

and produce frosty milk,

The sniffer dogs running at swashbuckling speeds through the city streets; wanted to hunt nefarious criminals; annihilate traces of their entity,

The gigantic lizard on the wall incessantly changed its color; wanted to entice its prey; pretending to be like a dead twig,

The pot bellied ducks quacked for indefatigable hours in the day; wanted scores of opalescent fish to relish,

The monstrous sized tortoise with its neck well camouflaged; wanted a plethora of worm,

The frivolously sculptured domestic cat; wanted to insatiably sip at hidden bowls of milk,

The obnoxiously detestable cockroach violently fluttered its antenna; wanted to safely sleep in the clammy and untidy realms of the gutter,

The diabolical demon in fairy tales; wanted to munch humans like ants in his mouth,

And till the time I existed on this earth in the form of a human being,

I wanted to unrelentingly love; make the world a better place to live in,

With celestial blessings of the Creator; to assist me in every step of my benevolent endeavor.
