1. BOUNCE
When I banged a ball of spongy rubber on the ground; it bounced a few times with
insipid fervor,
Rising a few inches from the ground; displaying a thoroughly lackluster performance.
When I threw a rotund ball of solid stone on polished floor; it bounced negligibly;
producing a thunderous noise when it collided,
Unable to rise even a centimeter above the ground; languidly rolling as if about to be
indiscreetly kicked.
When I released a ball of pure crystal from unprecedented heights of the edifice; it
diffused into infinite splinters of acerbic powder,
There was no question of it bouncing; as it reduced to complete shambles; and the
loss incurred was substantial.
When I hurled a ball of obdurate leather on the silver façade of glass; it zipped
through like a fiery rocket,
Bouncing with nonchalant exuberance after striking the floor; and there was a rotten
fragrance of leather that disparagingly originated.
When I banged a ball of flocculent cotton on the muddy road; it blended
magnificently with the ocean of dirt,
It simply refrained to bounce; and flimsy wisps of satin flakes drifted in the air.
When I banged a ball ornately stitched with a plethora of crimson rose petal; there
was not a trace of the faintest of bounce,
The blissful leaves were squashed into a miserable pulp; and colored juice dribbled;
forming tiny rivulets on the ground.
When I threw a ball of wet mud high in the air; it settled on the ground with a dull
thud,
Umpteenth molecules of loose dirt cascaded all over; and the bounce was intensely
sporadic before it died.
When I voraciously banged a ball of hot iron against car metal; it ripped apart the
intricate demeanor,
Traversing at swashbuckling speeds like a fired bullet; it was too heavy to bounce and
virtually sunk deep.
When I banged a ball of malevolent hatred on the floor; it assassinated alongwith
itself scores of impeccable individuals,
Propagating enmity in races of mixed color; instigating rampant incidences of
uncurbed violence; without bouncing the slightest whisker.
2. And when I eventually banged the ball of love against the most roughest of surface; it
bounced as high as the sky,
Kept bouncing even after striking the ground several times;
It was the bounce of flexibility; the bounce of perpetual bondage and sharing; which
had its spirits soaring handsome in the clouds; with the Creator to shower his
blessings and perennially protect it.
