32. IN THE EYES OF HATRED 

 

In the conglomerate of sinister clouds; there lay hidden twinkling stars,

Which emitted brilliant ramifications as the sky cleared; mystically illuminating the atmosphere.

 

In the dense clusters of green leaves; there lay hidden the incongruously

sculptured branch,

Which was thoroughly elastic with succulent juice oozing; and provided adequate nutrition to the leaves.

 

In colossal slopes of the treacherous mountain terrain; there lay hidden infinite tunnels; sequestered from acerbic rays of the Sun,

In which resided scores of innocuous rabbit; as well as a fleet of wailing wolf.

 

In the hostile fangs of poisonous reptile; there lay hidden a hissing sound,

Which permeated the ambience with waves of enchantment; indispensably captivating the attention of all animals in vicinity.

 

In the blistering rays of flaming sun; there lay hidden resplendent tinges of rich gold,

Which depicted its natural splendor; the mesmerizing spell that it had cast for centuries unprecedented on this earth.

 

In the ocean of sizzling lava strewn rampantly circumventing the volcano; there lay hidden crimson colored fumes,

Which painstakingly arose in the air; eventually blending with the firmament of sky.

 

In the diabolical silhouette of wild elephant; there lay hidden twin pairs of gleaming tusks,

Which bore their way vehemently through the jungle outgrowths; portraying their magnanimous glory to all.

 

In every rivulet of the intensely polluted stream; there lay hidden sweet mineral water,

If only it was scrupulously recycled; stringently annihilating disdainful impurities impregnated in its persona.

 

In the body of every little child wandering on this earth; there lay hidden the Omniscient God,

As immaculate as virgin milk dribbling from cow teats;  with the entire universe distinctly visible in the impeccable mouth.

 

And in the eyes of overwhelming hatred; there lay hidden dormant traces of perpetual love,

Which was ready to yield; the moment you caressed and tickled it with loads of empathy blended with profound care.
