19. BELIEVE IT OR NOT 

 

Whether you pulverize an invisibly infinitesimal worm;

or whether you torch a vibrantly euphoric commoner;

brutally alive,

 

Whether you squelch a diminutively pertinent mosquito;

or whether you massacre a patriotic soldiers scalp;

for sleazily placating the diabolical politician’s

palette,

 

Whether you pluck an inconspicuous lotus petal; or

whether you barbarously run your obnoxiously

cold-blooded vehicle over the haplessly wailing beggar

boy, 

 

Whether you squat at a parsimoniously irascible

cockroach; or whether you ruthlessly asphyxiate the

neck of the police officer; simply in order to save

your very own existence,

 

Believe it or not; in either case you commit the most

salaciously derogatory of crime; as whatever might

have been their size; shape; color; fraternity or

form; but for the Omnipotent Lord they were both

alike; as they both had exuberant life…..

 

1.

 

Whether you dig mercurially chocolate brown mud to

erect your palaces of tawdry filth; or whether you

parasitically suck even the last iota of blood from

the poor man’s skin; to raunchily enlighten your

non-existent facial contours,

 

Whether you smash fugitively new born eggs with your

criminal sword; or whether you treacherously extricate

the kidneys of a helpless man; just in order to

fortify the body of your already robust pet dog,

 

Whether you step over an petulantly infantile ant

while pompously transgressing towards your dogmatic

office; or whether you truculently strip flesh of

staggeringly destitute woman; to invidiously warm your

every winter night,

 

Whether you kill the diminishingly small newborn

spider to placate the impudent itch in your bohemian

palms; or whether you viciously stab the withering old

man to death; just in order to devour every single

iota of his hard earned wealth, 

 

Believe it or not; in either case you commit the most

remorsefully dastardly of crime; as whatever might

have been their size; shape; color; fraternity or

form; but for the Omnipresent Lord they were both

alike; as they both had vivacious life…

 

2.

 

Whether you insanely excoriate an obsoletely minuscule

seed to fulminate into sanctimoniously depraving

laughter; or whether you hedonistically snap the fangs

of the eclectic artist forever; so that there remained

nothing but abominable bloodshed on the trajectory of

this fathomless Universe,

 

Whether you hack a timid tadpole to the most

ruthlessly ribald death thereby releasing your

libidinous frustration; or whether you slit the veins

of the innocent prisoner; to maliciously corroborate

your idiosyncratic supremacy to the world outside, 

 

Whether you ominously emaciate the newborn calf to

torturous death just to tease its sacrosanct mother;

or whether you insidiously crucify every element of

the gentle giant; in order to become the most powerful

organism on this colossal earth, 

 

Whether you savagely roast the enchantingly

proliferating larvae to tantalize your taste buds for

morning breakfast; or whether you licentiously drill

the skull of the spell binding scientist; with

tumultuously torching embers of horrifically rusted iron,

 

Believe it or not; in either case you commit the most

preposterously indescribable of crime; as whatever

might have been their size; shape; color; fraternity

or form; but for the Omniscient Lord they were both

alike; as they both had majestic life…

 

3.

 

Whether you aim for the evanescent sparrow’s eye just

in order to diffuse criminal blackness wherever you

went; or whether you deleteriously devoured the

unsuspecting denizens neck in a single gulp; to gorily

replenish your belly for the blazing afternoon,

 

Whether you poked indefatigably at the harmlessly tiny

crab just to make wholeheartedly decrepit merry with

your sick mates; or whether you tyrannically tonsured

every iota of flesh from the bereaved widow’s body; to

hold a sordidly macabre exhibition of shriveled skin,

 

Whether you crushed an unbelievably  insignificant

beetle under your fetidly marauding feet; or whether

you murdered the irrefutably truthful messiah of

humanity; so that manipulation was the only leech that

burgeoned till times immemorial,

 

Whether you chopped a minutely petite snail into a

billion pieces just to profusely reinvigorate the

edges of your stagnating kitchen cleaver;  or whether

you lasciviously snatched air from the lungs of

immaculate school children; to baselessly immortalize

yourself in front of the Lord Almighty,

 

Believe it or not; in either case you commit the most

ghoulishly dilapidated of crime; as whatever might

have been their size; shape; color; fraternity or

form; but for the insuperable Lord they were both

alike; as they both had fantastic life.
