Vacuum

In forms of crusts and curves and caves and carves and undulates,
The vacuum looks exceedingly charming and gorgeous;
This vacuum, yet, when becomes a throne of naughty fates,
Heart and mind get twisted and turned into strains enormous...!

When vacuums are crowded with cockroaches and lizards,
The environs become disgusting and nauseating;
Vacuum can turn violent when gnawing, like blizzards,
When, owing sorrows and sufferings, life grows frustrating...!

When silliness and meaninglessness fill the vacuum, 
Pessimism, like thorny plants, fills the fields of existence; 
Delight, like chased-out parrots, leaves the heart's loveliest room,
Towards pain and bareness does vacuum show resistance...!

Even richly strong life could be, like chaff, easily blown, 
Wisdom filled vacuum can become a heavenly throne...!!!
