X FACTOR

You, Mr.Unknown,

were an unknown plant,

planted by unknown parents

at an unknown land,

tended and watered,

by them.

In your early days,

in the prime of life,

keeping a flame,

of revolutionary spirit,

you rebelled, revolted,

against,

establishment,

for a short while.

That flame died down,

when a strong wind,

blew across the land.

In the fast flowing waters,

of the city,

you were,

a floating log,

like countless logs,

floating along,

in the fast flowing,

waters of the city,

floating along,

with the current,

at some point,

you got tied up with,

one lady Unknown,

by an unknown force,

both of you floated along,

along with scores of other logs,

happliy, sometimes painfully,

sometimes sharing the,

past and present.

Time always an unending river,

two little logs joined both,

the four of you floated,

along for a while.

Upon growing up,

one after another,

both got anchored somewhere,

on the way,

both of you continued,

the journey still continues,

through ferociously, quickly flowing,

city waters,

waters of love,

hatred, violence,

with no end in sight,

to the flow,

uncertainties all the way.

The sea, it seems,

far away......
