Poem 1

THE LEGACY OF LAW
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams.
Wandering by lone sea-breakers
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever it seems.
(Arthur O' Shaughnessy)
Long ago, when we still had pretensions of being counterculture crusaders against mediocrity, i.e., in college; this used to my personal anthem.

Sanjeeta, no hatred for the world, but a certain elitism- certainly. All (wo)men are NOT created equal.

Usha, the anthem at 32 would have to be Floyd's "Time". Posting the lyrics as today's entry.
