Lament of a Dying man

To Kurt

O the fire in my veins

Her laughter my loss and the shames

Yet my blood boils to the core

I feel dharma has been violated and made obscure

As I wonder around in rage

I dream of the past in haze

Looking forward to quench the thirst of my body

O how can I end this metaphoric blasphemy?

And eye for and eye and blood for blood

Yet I feel betrayed by the lord’s honeyed talk

And as I remain seated I hear their war cry

Laughter escaped my lips yet the throat feels dry

The son of death lord beckons me

The gale child howls to make me flee

The so called mightiest archer wants to rain fire and blight

Killed vasusena from behind, such was his might

But this thirst cant be quenched

As I sat drenched

While the pandavs call me names

To provoke me for their own gains

Don’t they know that I am sinner?

Who unknowingly pitted brother against brother?

What good are they though who all married one woman?

A turned their great Indraprastra into a harem

The 5 were celestial born, not of pure bloodline

Yet our own ancestor found them fine

My father though as per rule was older and the proper heir

Yet his blindness was discredited and they found Padu fair

Oh lord I evoke the ancient rules to show you this usurper

Yet I found that they hall had your favour

Now they dare come to my domain calling me coward

I will meet them and help them fulfil their reward

And the foolish Yudhistir made a pact

To return my kingdom as a matter of fact

Choose a warrior and a weapon

And I will make sure that you both fight in open

And I could have chosen him then and there

And smashed his head with my mace but it won’t be fair

A the cow herd awaited petrified at Yudhistirs foolishness

My answer brought him back from his despair and filled him with happiness

The god child was blessed with power

Yet he laced skill of mace, grace and was more of a brawler

We fought till my skills surpassed his stamina

And I noticed the worried frown in the eyes of Pandava

Yet they were the shameless one

The God child defied the rules of engagement of the cow herd’s fun

This whole war for establishment of the eternal law

Was nothing but a paradigm shift of perception with enormous flaw?

O son of Drone tell me where is the justice in this reverberation

Tags were interchanges and heroes died and anti-heroes are in celebration

Save the world from this blasphemy my friend

Kill them all before death takes you, though I know the reason this world can never comprehend
