1. BISCUIT OF BLACK IRON
For me; it was a blissful messiah; as I scribbled boundless lines of exquisitely spell
binding literature; with its exotically scintillating nib,
For the butcher; it was his daily bread and butter; as he immaculately sliced hideously
distorted bones and meat with its sparkling edge; to optimally gratify his endless
repertoire of famished customers,
For the bird; it was an infinitesimal chunk that imparted all the holistic fortification
required to her divinely nest; sequestered her innocuous siblings; from gruesomely
torrential showers of; tumultuously acrimonious rain,
For the cyclist; it was his ultimate exhilaration to ebulliently lead life; as he insatiably
galloped on its shimmeringly rotund strips all night and day; frolicked in the aisles of
unprecedented desire; till the time he lived,
For the prisoner; it was his most maniacally depressing stages of existence; as he
remorsefully wailed behind its tyrannical monotony; wholesomely helpless to surge
even an inch forward,
For the edifice; it was its harmoniously unassailable strength; handsomely blended
with glorious ingredients of cement and concrete; magnanimously supporting it
against the most heinous of earthquake; and cataclysmic tornado’s,
For the nomad; it was an irascibly pertinent thorn; as it proved to be an ominous
misnomer amidst the naturally bountiful foliage; sporadically grazing past the
contours of his innocent face and feet; to inflict brutal scabs of viciousness,
For the ship; it was an indispensable angel of incredulously compassionate solidarity;
as it held fathomless tons of cargo and kin on its base; churned ahead like a royal
prince; unflinchingly even amongst a diabolical battalion of whales and sharks,
For the watch; it was the most glittering tool of success; as it incessantly ticked to
candidly divulge scrupulously unveiling time; sagaciously admonished one and all
regarding; the cracking of mesmerizing dawn; and the perils of the vindictively
sultry night,
For the dog; it was an elusively ghastly witch; as it broke all his gorgeous fortress of
teeth; every time he greedily mistook it; for his robustly tantalizing dinner,
For the lake; it was an abhorrently dreaded monster; as it invidiously infiltrated into
its satiny bed; horrendously corrupting the celestial synergy; of its blissfully
bequeathing soul,
For the diamond; it was the most barbaric giant on earth alive; as it indefatigably
yearned for diffusing grandiloquent glitter and voluptuous aura; incarcerated by all
humans behind its morbidly dolorous walls,
For the bloodstream; it was a deleteriously gory impediment; as it slowly corroded
and dissipated its disgusting toxins; in the poignantly ecstatic and unending balcony
of intricate veins,
For the castle; it was a miraculous savior of vivacious life; as it guarded the grandeur
all perilous night with its treacherously serrated periphery; while the Kings and
Queens snored impregnably to their hearts content,

2. For the singer; it was the most priceless possession of her life; as she timelessly held
its sparkling body near her melodious throat; reaching the divinity in her enchanting
voice; to spell bound audiences; far and wide across the trajectory of this
fathomless planet,
For the teacher; it was the most inevitable tool that he could ever posses; as he
controlled countless unruly and rambunctious students; with a single swish of its
menacingly bludgeoning swirl,
For the patriot; it was a blessing in blissful disguise; as he majestically held it to
confront the most lecherously advancing enemies; beheaded diabolically heinous
traitors; with its satanically sharp and shimmering edge,
For the laborer; it was an unfathomably insidious burden; as he fulminated into a
river of painstaking perspiration; bearing its disgracefully overwhelming load; upon
his nimbly impoverished back,
O! Yes; A blessing in heavenly disguise for some; while the most goriest curse of
existence for those frugally remaining; A priceless charm for some; while the most
insipid anecdote in life for those synergistically surviving; was the one and only; black
since the very first cry of birth; biscuit of black iron
