A thought for a new year ahead...

I sit here in a corner
The city covered in the warmth of winter...

I sit here in a corner
Thinking of a city back in my homeland yonder,
Which steps in the new year tomorrow...

I sit here in a corner
Shed a tear or two for the people slained in that homeland,
Human brutality that kills on religion,spares none,
Will the new tomorrow be any better???

I sit here in a corner
Thinking till when will I sit in this corner;
And see the cities bleed,my people slained...
Will I never rise?
Or just let the tears dry!
Thinking can we write our tomorrow....
Or better just wait till next time,
When walks in another sorrow....
Maybe next time it will be my corner!!!

Every year just before 31st I am really excited...what the new year beholds...it marks a beginning..though its very cliche...but for me it always bring in new things...but this time...everyone is pensive...the wounds are still fresh...
But thinking of it...hasnt enough been already written and talked about the Mumbai seige...hasnt the Media already championed,bashed,sympathised with it all over the world...Politicians resigned,fought,roared and calmed down...but has all the anger vented out been channelised...I dont know...am too small a speck to rationalise these...but sitting in my corner..just one thought lingers..are we prepared for tomorrow if it strikes us again????
