(32)  Where   am I ?
I   may be   a   docile   cow   or  a passive  spectator,
and   not  cowed  down  by clouts   and   shouts,
 have  the  changing    world    and   motley  crowd,
invariably  drawn  by  puzzles   and thrills,
like   a  conundrum,   life   forever is  posing  a  problem,
whether  hotmail  ,or   concord,  life  is  running  its  own course,
toiling  housemaid   near  the  firewood,
unruly   crowd  in  the   fraudulent   ration  shop,
the   queue  overstretching  the  street  corner,
  felled    streets blocking  the traffic,
the  cylinder  man’s  heavy  shoulder,
eager  to    ease    the  burden  of   purpose,
the  drunken   addict  in   booze of   overdose,
dragging  the  hair  of  his  wife,
as   would   a lion   a  goat  kid  in  strife,
  animal  passion  in  man  up welling,
the  avaricious   housewife   swallows  all
reason   or   rhyme, visits    the  maternity
ward,  every  two  years  fresh  confinement,
  she   is    not  for  her  daughter’s   marriage,
augments   source  of perennial  income,
prefers    her  son    a   lifelong    bachelor, 
lest   her   coffer  should  become   pauper,
advocates    divorce  a  panacea   for  all   ills,
what  is  her  senile  husband?   A knowledgeable
puppet,   a  dancing   doll in  the  hand,
the  world  remains  the  same, the crowd  changes
its  stand, forever, we  have   to be  a  part  of  the   changing
scenario,  philanderer    and philanthropy   all go  hand in hand.
