SUSTENANCE
Along the cattle-trodden paths litter-strewn with cattle-dung, between the vast expanses of paddy and plantian fields dotted with palm tree, here and there, with majestic crowns, studded with large coconut and palmyra a kind of a palm tree with a nut, that consists of a kernel semi-transparent-albumen colored, bun-sized called ice-apple refreshing for the sun-loved people enclosed in a hard-shell.
The feathers perched on the formers; crown being long, and fish-bones like, and latters being that of the webbed-feet of a wading bird for shower under the nozzle of a motor-pump, near off from my maters maternal home-hut went we, my cousin, my parents; second son and I.Whiffing this way and that way, the aroma emanating from, the immovable living-relatives of ours the green kingdom surrounding us interrupted by plucking off the thorns pricked under the pad of our paws, scattered carelessly by a branch of movable living things the human beings, from among the numerous fingers and hands of the trees cut off as firewood.
From under-within the palm-hut puffs out the carbon dioxide of the motor-pump-set, that pours out a sum of two atoms of Hydrogen, plus an atom of Oxygen, =H2O the water one of the most basic ingredients for a creation, known as man sucked from down-below the earth.Jumping off into a pool of puddle adding fuel to the splash, which out-stretches itself to direct water to the fields to quench its thirst, we soaked ourselves completely, coming out fresh as mint. The lifeline on the face of the earth, came flowing on and on swirling, branching out this way and that way.
Tiny fishes were huddled in their small islands, blocked by the mountains of sand and trenches punched by the limbs of men, hooves of cattle and paws of mans pet; entirely cut off from their mainland the pond wherein their countrymen enjoy sumptuous meals and lavish drinks.The stream flows in, up and down, the valley of trenches, and drains into the island, flooding it and carrying along its torrents, its inhabitants, and then the fishes wriggling like a whip allows itself to be washed along, and thence it landed on the mainland, through the tunnel that carries nutrition to the crop-fields, whence the fishes with hope are able to find sustenance thus spread out wide and vast.
