My land has no frontiers,
all stranded...

And he stands apart, cold
While the world wassailed and reveled
In the full glare of the light
Till dusk comes beckoning.

A language in plethoric display.

When I used to be the spoiled playboy,
My heart scorned me yet I endured the dallies.
Few shed tears and few took casually,
But when the society blamed me

Who faced domestic violence and abuse
And went into a silent recluse
For the sake of their family and children.
