 When i walked barefoot on a cushion of jungle thorn, 

the blazing sun boiling moist portions of bald earth, 
with blistering waves of heat stabbing naked spots on my skin, 
i felt a rich gravy of blood trickle at rapid pace from my sole.
 
when i walked barefoot on dying embers of seasoned lumber 
sparks of red coal flying sporadically in the air, 
a blend of grey ash and mud stinging my tender eye, 
i felt like a slaughtered chicken with tumultuous numbness enveloping my body.
 
When I walked barefoot on frozen coats of ice, 
Icy winds of snow caressing my unwashed hair, 
With mercury dipping an abysmal low below freezing, 
I felt blood in infinite veins of my body starting to transit into a solid curry of 
cold water. 
 
When I walked barefoot on a large slab of cake, 
The heavenly aroma of crushed cherry tickling starved hair of my nostril, 
An icing of molten sugar now juxtaposed with my toe nail, 
I felt concentrated waves of euphoria descend down my entity.
 
When I walked barefoot on the luxury coffin holding one of my kin, 
Ghastly blows of sorrow encompassing my trembling body, 
Hysterical sobs emanating from dormant regions of my throat, 
I felt as if the world had come to a mute standstill, 
The creator had promptly vanished, 
leaving me deserted, to face the worst agony walking barefoot.
