WHY WAS I LIVING Why were you smiling spuriously; when actually you were completely shattered from inside? Why were the trees blissfully casting their shadows; when actually they felt that they would wither away? Why was the sun shining; when actually it felt that it would submerge into a pool of darkness? Why was the rose blossoming handsomely towards the sky; when actually every droplet of its juice was being savagely sucked by the parasite? Why were the birds chirping melodiously; when actually their nests were completely destroyed? Why were the waves simmering placidly; when actually they were soon to be enveloped by a tumultuous storm? Why was it raining; when actually the clouds had faded decades ago? Why were the fish swimming gleefully; when actually they knew that they were going to be devoured by a hostile shark the very next moment? Why were the eyes radiant; when they were actually going to be besieged by wholesome blindness within a few seconds? Why was the car traversing like a prince; when actually it was going to plummet into the steep valley; as soon as it reached the bridge? Why were the fires blazing vivaciously towards the sky; when actually they were going to blend with loose mud; as soon as the rain came down? Why was the businessman busy in millions of dollars worth of business deals; when actually he had lost completely in matters of the heart? Why was the rainbow shimmering bombastically in the cosmos; when it actually was going to fade away into thin wisps of oblivion; as soon as the clouds gathered in? Why were the buildings standing fortified; tall; and domineering; when actually they were going to be reduced to inconspicuous rubble; with meager strokes of the devastating earthquake?
