Renegade January 26 

As the new year begins, awareness dawns,

introspection constant questioning deep myself,

youth in its gay spirits,wandering aimless,

all responsibilities lying low, where is my land,

my kith and kin, my mother and father,

their guidance no more wanted, 

all by myself into my own philosophy,

time  running beyond time, all that is over.

Look at the woman with bread crumbs,

child in her sari's cradle improvised for alms,

wage earner's battle with his family and boss;

i am blessed, i forgot till now; no  mean crave,

no more looks, no more secret annoying, 

no wanting, only remedy is my memory ,

inward and silent teaching a  remedy for all the past;

let the past  a sieve memory , let the winter its cold-

all be gone for better days anew.
