ABSOLUTELY USELESS

To quench a scorched travelers thirst; all that was required was

a tiny well with sparkling water,
The entire ocean with its boundless number of volcanic waves;
the infinite assemblage of salty liquid proved to be absolutely
useless.
To appease a famished beggars hunger; all that was required
was the minuscule little cluster of appetizing cherries,
The entire tree with its innumerable branches; the tons of green
foliage protruding out in surplus abundance from towering
heights; proved to be absolutely useless.
To construct an impoverished man's dwelling; all that was
required was frugal chunks of earth scattered around the placid
pond,
The entire desert with its unfathomable territory of sand; the
countless billions of slippery granules impregnated in its heart;
proved to be absolutely useless.
To pacify the infants incessant crying; all that was required was
the passionate embrace of the holy mother,
The entire armory of traditionally embellished attendants; the
toys worth millions of rupees from every part of the continent;
proved to be absolutely useless.
To provide rest to a priest having walked unrelentingly since the
last 10 days; all that was required a clean slab of stone; with
rustic chirping of the sparrows putting him to eternal rest,
The entire palace; adorned with a festoon of ostentatious lights;
golden couches sprawling all around; proved to be absolutely
useless.
To illuminate the life of a blind man; was just a shoulder he could
lean upon; share his inconsolable tale of bizarre distress,
The entire street flooded with brilliant lights; dazzling flames of
ferocious fire escalating high towards the sky; to be absolutely
useless.
To add a smile to the life of a bird; all that was required was to
leave it in free space; where it could soar high and handsome
under the blanket of stars and moon,

The entire zoo with silver cages; the contemporary shelter

enveloped with chains; proved to be absolutely useless.
To trigger off enormous jubilation in the eyes of the dog;
engender its tail to unceasingly wag; all that was required was
to place its master in front of his body,
The entire dungeon stashed with biscuits of gold; the colossal
pile of shimmering bones lined with meat; proved to be
absolutely useless.
To satisfy the last desire of a dying man; with his breath being
limited only to a few more seconds; all that was required was his
loved ones engulfing him and supporting him from all sides,
The entire reception to felicitate him for his life time
achievements; the grandiloquent extravaganza with stringent
music blaring in his respect; proved to be absolutely useless.
And to make me live; blissfully exist on the surface of this earth;
all that was required was the captivating perception of my
omnipotent God; the unprejudiced and revered face of my
mother; and the flames of sizzling romance emanating from the
body of my beloved,
The entire Universe with its riches; the fascinating and
marvelous scenery it had to offer; the flamboyantly sculptured
jets transporting me virtually to even the remotest part of the
jungles; proved to be absolutely useless.
