 In order to repair the broken door; what was required was a plethora of finely

chiseled nails; along with an adroit carpenter, 
 
In order to repair the tumbledown television; what was required was a maze of
intricate wires; and the services of a technician, 
 
In order to repair the severely corrugated road; what was required was bountiful amounts of fresh mud; to be scrupulously compacted by the gigantic bulldozer, 
 
In order to repair the shoddy shoe; what was required was strong spools of
thread; and a metallic bodkin to meticulously stitch the same, 
 
In order to repair the fragile economy of the country; what was required was a
stringent dictator; who thoroughly refrained from indulging into the most
inconspicuous of malpractice; shirked his face away from taking bribe, 
 
In order to repair the houses flooded with the onslaught of stormy coastal
waves; what was required was to evacuate the afflicted from the tyranny of
sea, 
 
In order to repair the dilapidated car; what was required was a host of scintillating spare parts; and a drum replete with lubricant oil, 
 
In order to repair the punctured tier; what was required was a few bellows of
compressed air; which lay incarcerated in the hand pump, 
 
In order to repair the contemporary timepiece; what was required was a pair of
lead batteries; engendering white current to flow, 
 
In order to repair the shattered mirror; what was required was long pieces of pellucid glass; along with a rotund bottle of sticky glue, 
 
In order to repair the disheveled painting; what was required was an artist blending it with vibrant colors from his brush; transforming its complexion into virtually new, 
 
In order to repair raw wounds oozing blood; what was required was a sprinkle
of emollient antiseptic, 
 
In order to repair the gaping hole in the wall; what was required was articulately sculptured bricks; which could fill the same to perfection, 
 
In order to repair the discarded aircraft; what was required was to refuel it
with gasoline; strengthen its tapered wings, 
 
In order repair burnt hair adorning the scalp; what was required was to tonsure the scalp entirely; to facilitate brand new clusters to grow, 
 
In order to repair the torn parchment of bonded paper; what was required was
adhesive tape which held the sheet in a vice like grip, 
 
In order to repair the earthquake stricken edifices; what was required was to
dismantle them completely; replacing them with fresh ones having superior
resistance to shock, 
 
In order to repair the smashed web of the spider; what was required was to
feed the beast with lots of insect; thereby granting it strength to spin other one, 
 
In order to repair wholesome darkness prevailing on this earth; what was required was the omnipotent light of courage shining unrelentingly, 
 
And in order to repair my broken heart; what was required was a girl who could
love me intensely; make me oblivious to the horrendous anecdotes and my miseries of the past.

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.
