 When I banged a ball of spongy rubber on the ground; it bounced a few times with insipid fervor, 

Rising a few inches from the ground; displaying a thoroughly lackluster performance.
 
When I threw a rotund ball of solid stone on polished floor; it bounced negligibly; producing a thunderous noise when it collided, 
Unable to rise even a centimeter above the ground; languidly rolling as if about to be indiscreetly kicked.
 
When I released a ball of pure crystal from unprecedented heights of the edifice; it diffused into infinite splinters of acerbic powder, 
There was no question of it bouncing; as it reduced to complete shambles; and the loss incurred was substantial.
 
When I hurled a ball of obdurate leather on the silver façade of glass; it zipped through like a fiery rocket, 
Bouncing with nonchalant exuberance after striking the floor; and there was a rotten fragrance of leather that disparagingly originated.
 
When I banged a ball of flocculent cotton on the muddy road; it blended magnificently with the ocean of dirt, 
It simply refrained to bounce; and flimsy wisps of satin flakes drifted in the air.
 
When I banged a ball ornately stitched with a plethora of crimson rose petal; there was not a trace of the faintest of bounce, 
The blissful leaves were squashed into a miserable pulp; and colored juice dribbled; forming tiny rivulets on the ground.
 
When I threw a ball of wet mud high in the air; it settled on the ground with a dull thud, 
Umpteenth molecules of loose dirt cascaded all over; and the bounce was intensely sporadic before it died.
 
When I voraciously banged a ball of hot iron against car metal; it ripped apart the intricate demeanor, 
Traversing at swashbuckling speeds like a fired bullet; it was too heavy to bounce and virtually sunk deep.
 
When I banged a ball of malevolent hatred on the floor; it assassinated alongwith itself scores of impeccable individuals, 
Propagating enmity in races of mixed color; instigating rampant incidences of uncurbed violence; without bouncing the slightest whisker.
 
And when I eventually banged the ball of love against the most roughest of surface; it bounced as high as the sky, 
Kept bouncing even after striking the ground several times; 
It was the bounce of flexibility; the bounce of perpetual bondage and sharing; which had its spirits soaring handsome in the clouds; with the Creator to shower his blessings and perennially protect it.
