Can Only Be Realized
How brilliantly Omnipotent was the Sun; can truly be realized only in the invidiously stabbing and hopelessly asphyxiating; winds of darkness,
How redolently effulgent was the Rose; can truly be realized only in the abhorrently despairing and dolefully egregious; dustbins of stink,
How iridescently twinkling was the Star; can truly be realized only in the banefully penalizing and dreadfully directionless; mists of the night,
How poignantly scarlet was Blood; can truly be realized only in amorphously lackadaisical and nonchalantly livid; gutters of water,
How indomitably unshakable was the Mountain; can truly be realized only in
frigidly crumbling and pathetically deteriorating; deserts of sandy soil,
How ecstatically triumphant was Victory; can truly be realized only in the devastatingly staring and ignominiously pulverizing; mirror of defeat,
How Omnisciently powerful was Breath; can truly be realized only in the cadaverously meaningless and remorsefully wastrel; coffins of extinction,
How mischievously tangy was the Sea; can truly be realized only in the despicably squelching and indiscriminately terrorizing; mortuaries of boredom,
How unassailably pious was the newborn Infant; can truly be realized only in the pompously prejudiced and vindictively victimizing; corpse of the sanctimoniously political world,
How Omnipresently virile was the Seed; can truly be realized only in the treacherously forlorn and ludicrously obsolete; graveyards of infertility,
How eternally resplendent was the Wind; can truly be realized only in the parsimoniously strangulated and demonically manipulated; webs of sweat,
How mellifluously sweet was Honey; can truly be realized only in the miserably sadistic and truculently excoriating; vials of poison,
How boisterously effervescent was the Bumble Bee; can truly be realized only in the ghoulishly sullen and sacrilegiously silent; ghosts of nothingness,
How quintessentially life-yielding was Rain; can truly be realized only in the unbearably apocalyptic and abominably stabbing; jailhouses of drought,
How beautifully enamoring was fantasy; can truly be realized only in the flagrantly crippling and morbidly monotonous; chains of the corporate office,
How timelessly liberating was freedom; can truly be realized only in the venomously ostracizing and unsparingly hedonistic; gallows of slavery,
How eternally altruistic was humanity; can truly be realized only in the savagely destroying and acrimoniously bloody; maelstroms of war,
How Omnipotenly unconquerable was the Lord; can truly be realized only in the uncontrollably assassinating and unsparingly knifing; hell's of the barbarously
rampaging devil,
And how Immortally insuperable was Love; can truly be realized only in the atrociously sinister and unforgivably emptying; howls of disastrously bombarding betrayal.
