New Year Anthem


New Year Anthem - 2013

Have I become now a better human,
And have the quality of my thoughts risen?
Perhaps my desires are now more refined,
Perhaps my goals are now well-defined.

Yearn do I still for paltry pleasures,
Never do I think of inner treasures?
Ever inconsequential is my life still,
Where am I investing my free will?

Year after year, let me progress,
Ever new spiritual delights to witness,
Always eying the pinnacle distant,
Resolving not to stop an instant.


-- Abhijit.
