Son of Kunti

SON OF KUNTI Son of Kunti, they speak your name, at the counties, they whisper your name, the neglet of toil - has made you, neglet the wisdom of your fathers, what did you take home, what were your spoils - at war, Oh - great son of Kunti, did they not emulate you, The word treason, once again be - spoken, and the letter seven - once again, gains meaning, Oh great son of Kunti, did they not emulate you, Son of kunti, let mi pen off, for the children are still young, and were - i to persist, Oh great one, I would fail the calling.

This is nice. Your poems remind me of great African writers like chinua Achebe , john kiriamiti, ngugi wa thiongo etc. You need to get them published!

In our Hindu mythology, we have a character called Kunti. The Epic is called Mahabharat and it's all about KUNTI and her six sons, Lewis, happy new year
