 Although it stands in a pool of disdainful mud; with wild creepers camouflaging it in entirety, 

The lotus still reigns supreme; due to its lingering redolence; the stupendously enamoring color of its leaves.
 
Although it is obliterated by a conglomerate of ominous thunder clouds; black gases whistling past it at swashbuckling speeds, 
The moon still reigns supreme; due to its scintillating and perennial shine; which profoundly illuminates the night.
 
Although it flies amidst a fleet of hideous vultures; sounds of vicious wailing uncouthly caressing its wings, 
The nightingale still reigns supreme; due to its incredibly mesmerizing voice
which permeates the atmosphere.
 
Although she swims underwater with pugnacious sharks slithering in proximity; 
the multilegged octopus fervently awaiting every single opportunity to strangulate it, 
The mermaid still reigns supreme; due to its silken complexioned skin; the vivaciousness incorporated in its body.
 
Although it lies obfuscated behind the fortress of lanky mountains; the colossal shadows trying to wholesomely submerge it, 
The sun still reigns supreme; due to its blistering rays; the overwhelming tenacity in its shine able to dazzle every nook and cranny of the earth.
 
Although it lies incarcerated in cloistered space; a slimy shell sequestering it completely from the outside world, 
The pearl still reigns supreme; due to its unrelenting capacity to glow; inundate the life of whosoever who purchases it with an inevitable sparkle.
 
Although it sprouts from primordial wild clay; with fetid puddles of slush sprawled abundantly around, 
The button mushroom still reigns supreme; due to its delectably appeasing silhouette; the exultation it generates when squelched between pair of teeth.
 
Although it gushes past a plethora of belligerent barricades; jagged rocks hindering its progress at every juncture possible, 
The white water mountain stream still reigns supreme; due to its tingling noise; the reinvigorating feeling it imparts when drunk with cupped hands.
 
Although it lies imprisoned in dungeons of doom; ghastly waves of air striking
it each minute unveiling, 
The biscuit of gold still reigns supreme; due to the perpetual glow emanating from its persona; its uncanny ability to overpower all commodities existing.
 
And although he existed in a world besieged with corruption; blood sucking individuals trying to massacre civilization, 
The angel still reigned supreme; due to an impeccable aura engulfing his demeanor; the unprecedented faith he had in his mother; his beloved; and the Almighty who had created him.
