Analysis of Can There exist
Can there exist rain without smoke grey clouds in the cosmos,
can there exist desert without quintals of slippery sand,
can there exist flower shrub without variegated petals of color,
can there exist winter without mercury dipping below freezing,
can there exist pure ivory without elephant trampling through forest,
can there exist a cigarette without bitter leaves of venom tobacco,
can there exist taste without minute buds flowering on fleshy tongue,
can there exist a boat without oars firmly riveted to the sides,
can there exist incessant wind without circular revolutions of the motored fan,
can there exist gold without tinges of passionate yellow,
can there exist white pearls without symmetrically carved oyster shell,
can there exist cinema halls without palatial expanse of the silver screen,
can there exist a perfect morning without melodious chirping of the cuckoo,
can there exist salt without sea water splashing on the chain of mighty coal rock,
can there exist blood without pores of flesh being punctured,
can there exist thick lava without collisions in interior crevices of earth,
can there exist a lock without a key kissing articulate junctions of proximity,
can there exist finger nail coat without surplus fillings of powdered calcium,
can there exist mountain rivers without mass of water tumbling down at speed,
can there exist a church without Jesus nailed to sandalwood cross,
can there exist breath without nostrils containing sticky mucus,
can there exist a computer without a host of programmed microchips,
can there exist aquatic fish without an ambience of luke warm water,
can there exist an aircraft in space without a pair of steel wings,
can there exist life without consumption of portable water,
can there exist man on earth without traces of love he thoroughly deserves.
