67

A recluse chose
to live out of society.
A loner's life -
Away from peers -
A reclusive life -
Away from friends -
Away from pressure -
Away from family.


A lone reed
among the prairie -
A lone lion with all the freedom -
A lone ranger on a quest -
A lone wolf roaming the night.


Oh how is it to be -
a recluse?
Living a reclusive life
to live alone within a world -
Of freedom -
A world within the society -
Of jackals and vultures - and friends.
Whom all the recluse alienate -
For the sake of peace.
