English language and still imbibe every word of the
colossal dictionary, ’
You can't live imprisoned behind the dingy brick wall
and still inhale gallons of blissful air,
You can't keep looking at your watch every minute and
still announce confidently that you weren't a trifle
anxious,
You can't emulate every action happening beside you
and still cognize yourself to be entirely independent,
You can't sit languidly in the air-craft to smoothly
glide up the hill and still bellow at the top of your
lungs that you clambered up all the treacherous slope
standing on your toes,
You can't deluge your mouth completely with water and
still want jewels to tumble out each time you spoke,
You can't have thorns adhered to all parts of your
body and still feel yourself heavily soaked in spongy
jelly,
You can't be a satanic barbarian chopping raw flesh
and still imagine yourself to have created new life,
You can't bathe in a river of sweet honey and still
want the bees to shirk away the instant they sighted
you,
You can't lie breathless in the stone clad coffin and
still come out bouncing radiantly alive,
You can't have a reserved heart wandering
materialistically and still fall madly in love,
And You cant strangulate your emotions; grope
uncertainly in a land of cowardice and still lead
life…
