The Greatest Truth; The Greatest Lie.
The greatest comfort existing; is in the moist arms of the impeccable mother,
The greatest light existing; is the dazzling glow of the flamboyantly fiery Sun,
The greatest depth existing; is in the poignant eyes of your beloved,
The greatest salt existing; is in the undulating waters of the saline ocean,
The greatest blessing existing; is the one imparted by the impoverished heart,
The greatest noise existing; is the deafening roar of the fulminating volcano,
The greatest scent existing; is the one emanating profoundly from the redolent rose,
The greatest taste existing; is in the succulent cluster of ravishing plums,
The greatest length existing; is the colossal expanse of crystal blue sky,
The greatest dirt existing; is the massacre of the innocent and the deprived,
The greatest voice existing; is the enchanting sound of the nightingale,
The greatest hand existing; is the one that philanthropically helps others in times of distress,
The greatest color existing; is the one circumventing the resplendent rainbow,
The greatest water existing; is the one trapped delectably inside the hard skull of coconut,
The greatest language existing; is the one symbolizing humanity,
The greatest mirror existing; is the one intricately lining your soul,
The greatest perspiration existing; is the one that dribbled profusely after a hard days work,
The greatest joke existing; is that life is a bed of roses,
The greatest bye existing; was one executed by a dying soldier,
The greatest lie existing; is that man can live forever; and never die,
And the greatest truth existing; is unbiased love; the entity you solely continue
living for
