Where On Earth Can I Find Poem by Nikhil Parekh

Where on earth can I find a lotus flower; without the slightest of redolence,

Where on earth can I find an olive green coconut; without sweet kernel water,

Where on earth can I find an ocean; without majestically swirling waves of saline solvent,

Where on earth can I find a fleet of fat sheep; without infinite tufts of flocculent wool,

Where on earth can I find a royal horse gallivanting through the fields; without triangular shaped copper hooves,

Where on earth can I find a hooded reptile slithering through the dense forest; without lethal embodiments of poison,

Where on earth can I find a bundle of immaculate cotton; without profuse traces of softness,

Where on earth can I find an iridescent diamond; without a profoundly
scintillating shine,

Where on earth can I find a stick of green chili; without a tangy and piquant flavor,

Where on earth can I find an infant; without obstreperously emanating cries,

Where on earth can I find granules of pulverized sugar; without traces of lingering sweetness,

Where on earth can I find a bird soaring high in the silken clouds; without tapered pairs of wings,

Where on earth can I find an innocuous squirrel; without a long and bushy tail,

Where on earth can I find a fulminating volcano; without producing tumultuous amounts of heat,

Where on earth can I find a mammoth elephant; without flamboyant protrusions of wild tusks,

Where on earth can I find a rainbow in the firmament of sky; without vivacious streaks of vivid color,
Where on earth can I find an animate soul transgressing; without inhaling gallons of fresh air,

Where on earth can I find a mother; without empathy for her newly born child,

Where on earth can I find god; without a philanthropic disposition towards his disciples,

And where on earth can I find a family; which hasn't experienced the slightest of affliction; a family whose every single ancestor is yet breathing and alive?
