 The thing as frigid as a dead follicle of hair; was indiscreet hatred, 

 
The thing as disdainful as the bathroom cockroach; was illicit smuggling, 
 
The thing as pale as the dilapidated wall; was overwhelming prejudice, 
 
The thing as resplendent as the pearly moon; was a gregarious smile on the
luscious lips, 
 
The thing as morose as the broken branch of the tree; was tumultuous sorrow
blended with grief, 
 
The thing as transparent as the crystal mountain stream; was unsolicited truth, 
 
The thing as bankrupt as a bedraggled beggar; was pugnacious enmity, 
 
The thing as innocuous as the hazel eyed monkey; was the cry of a small
child, 
 
The thing as volatile as hot green chili; was immensely provoked anger, 
 
The thing as sweet as freshly prepared nectar; was the voice of the benevolent
propagating humanity, 
 
The thing as blotted as the abysmally dark waters of the gutter; 
was indiscriminately brutal crime, 
 
The thing as cold as frozen pulp of icecream; was blatant jealousy, 
 
The thing as nostalgic as the oblivious past; was indefatigable fantasies of
the brain, 
 
The thing as sizzling as ravishing brown crustacean coffee; was stupendous
exultation, 
 
The thing as inflated as a gas balloon; was ostentatious pride, 
 
The thing as appeasing as appetizing morsels of food; was philanthropic
friendship which fortified by the minute, 
 
 
The thing as vociferous as a barking dog; was insatiable hunger which arose
sporadically in the stomach, 
 
The thing as infinite as the boundaries of the emerald ocean; was ubiquitous humanity, 
 
The thing as inevitably intoxicating as liquor; was unfathomable greed, 
 
The thing as venomous as the sting of a scorpion; was racial discrimination, 
 
The thing as preposterously huge as the impeccable dolphin; was 
empathy towards fellow beings, 
 
The thing as starved as scorched sands of the desert; was the ominously
diabolic devil, 
 
And the thing as impeccable as white pearls impregnated in oyster shells; as
effusive as thunderous rain pelting down; was perpetual love.
