After the Gita

for public domain

And what then awaited Arjuna,
after Lord Krishna Enlightened him?
A Utopian life? Endless fulfillment
of every desire and whim?

Or a bloody war to be fought,
against his foes and his beloved kin?
He regained his Self, but could not circumvent
the Karma for his every sin.

And so shall it be for all of we,
where the Self shines again from the dim,
who must render the fine, pay every cent,
in chorus with this Glorious Hymn.
