 If I had a thousand bricks stashed beside my persona; I would utilize them all to construct an invincible house, 

If I had a thousand fishes slithering for life in my vicinity; I would put them back into the saline sea, 
If I had a thousand burnt needles in my palms; I would embellish them with ice candy; incorporating them on the surface of chocolate cake, 
If I had a thousand pens full of fountain ink; I would inundate the blank demeanor of paper with a battalion of literature, 
If I had a thousand apples embossed with brilliantly radiant skins; I would peel of the same at lightning speeds and cupidly devour the imprisoned juice, 
If I had a thousand cars aligned right outside my driveway; I would traverse through the steep hills with a cavalcade of soldiers following me, 
If I had a thousand cubes of cheese strewn haphazardly beside my nose; I would nibble at a few distributing the rest amongst a plethora of red ants, 
If I had a thousand pieces of flocculent cotton; I would juxtapose them together; then sleeping in tranquil calm on the conglomerate of my innovative bed, 
If I had a thousand hunter dogs; I would engage them in tracking nefarious criminals; reprimanding the culprits severely for their compendium of misdeeds, 
If I had a thousand balls of immaculate marble; I would bang them on the ground to produce a deafening noise; roll with sheer exhilaration on the same, 
If I had a thousand cakes of deplorable cowdung; I would smear them on the walls of my house; sparing a few to splash around mischievously, 
If I had a thousand legs; I would sleep; at the same time walk; clambering up
the treacherous terrain without perspiring in the Sun, 
If I had thousand eyes; I would clearly sight disdainful traffic in front as well as in the rear; alongwith the twinkling stars in the sky, 
If I had a thousand dreams; I would keep sleeping all Sunlit day as well as in the starry night, 
If I had a thousand tongues; I would eloquently speak the language of each city in the world with nonchalant ease, 
If I had a thousand arms; I would embrace all whom I revered without feeling drearily exhausted, 
If I had a thousand moons; I wouldn't need a mirror to gaze at my reflection; instead would admire my intricate silhouette in the celestial body, 
If I had a thousand glasses of poignant brandy lying on the shelf; I would consume it regularly with unprecedented jubilation; and would always refrain from contracting a cold, 
If I had a thousand guns; I would use them to assassinate traces of crime inhabiting this earth, 
If I had a thousand leaves of red betel; I would chew them incessantly thereby coating my lips with scarlet color, 
If I had a thousand cameras; I would use them all to snap the picture of the ones I cherished, 
If I had a thousand twigs of wood; I would stack them meticulously to incinerate a crackling fire; relishing the gratifying warmth all throughout the chilly night, 
If I had a thousand biscuits of gold; I would blend them to form exquisite pieces of jewelry; purchase the best quality of Persian silk, 
And if by the grace of god I had a thousand lives to live in; I would unrelentingly love the girl of my dreams; the very girl I today passionately cared for.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
