 What is the use of taking a blind man to Switzerland; when infact he wasn't even able to sight his own reflection in brilliant Sunlight, 

 
What is the use of giving a swanky car to a person who was lame; when infact his legs were gruesomely crippled; as short as his little finger, 
 
What is the use of placing a person who was stone deaf; in an ambience of pulsating music; when infact he couldn't even hear his own voice, 
 
What is the use of giving a mike to a person who was dumb; when infact he wasn't even able to utter a single word, 
 
What is the use of placing a dainty statue in the boxers hand; when infact he would pulverize it to mincemeat; after giving it one long look, 
 
What is the use of releasing the bird from its cage; when infact it had no wings; walked nimbly with tentative steps on the ground, 
 
What is the use of feeding a beggar with voluptuous wine; when infact what he actually needed was morsels of solid food, 
 
What is the use of appointing a Businessman as the commander of the army, when infact he was thoroughly busy contemplating the cost of the rifles; instead of
shooting with them a flurry of bullets, 
 
What is the use of giving a meaty bone to a toddler; when infact he wasn't even able to sip cold milk, 
 
What is the use of tying a watch on the hands of the giant; when infact he was snoring thunderously in deep sleep; wasn't perturbed the slightest of what was
going on in his surroundings, 
 
What is the use of giving a pistol in the hands of a pop-corn vendor; when infact all he did was to evacuate all its bullets; thinking that they were colored popcorn, 
 
What is the use of igniting a matchstick in unrelenting downpour of rain; when infact it would extinguish in entirety; as the first droplet of water struck its surface, 
 
What is the use of bestowing an illiterate person with boundless books on ethnic literature; when infact he didn't even know how to catch a pen between his fingers, 
 
What is the use of a contemporary telephone and a majestic Internet booth; when infact there were arid sands of the sweltering desert, sprawled around for miles together, 
 
What is the use of providing gaudy clothes to a person; who was incessantly 
found swimming under water, 
 
What is the use of laying trap for the mouse; who was infact busy digging a burrow for his entire family; rather than being enticed by the appetizing cucumber 
suspended inside, 
 
What was the use of placing a demon in front of the sacrosanct deity of God; when infact he was used to chopping humans skulls; as every night unveiled into dawn, 
 
What is the use of giving millions of dollars worth of wealth; to an old man creeping at lightening pace towards his grave, 
 
And what is the use of imparting life to an infant, O! Lord; after orphaning him; just a few seconds after he was born.
