" Happy New Year 1993," was shouting I on the street, greeting everyone whom I met; still I had to wish many all happiness for a year in the following morn. spending the night unrest, I saw the sun rising in the east.
In the new year morn the tomato like sun seemed putrid and decayed without any distinction in it.
With new hopes and desires it did not rise in the sky of their basic needs to make these trodden happy in the new year day; the Ram-Rahim fight stopped not -- a heifer before power and establishment -- smoke of it was everywhere; rough souls turned not sages, divinity -- beyond imagination.
No congratulations any more to the brightening world; thanks to the sun for rising.
All is changed in the SELF; reality hidden in hypocrisy, the shadow follows everyone.
The sun rising makes it different in broad day light, hiding the true self; only a mask is visible,but unknown.

About this poem:
This poem was written long ago in 1993, when suddenly I felt new year morning makes no difference to people like me. I am the same person and will remain the same. I think this poem has the same reflection still today.
