Draupadi's Mahabharath
Draupadi's Mahabharath
Blinded by thoughts I have sunk into a corner
Unlikely and hasty thoughts seep into my heart
Maybe as I knew that I was the silent mourner
Of one noble soul, that destiny has tone apart
Clad in all white, I close my eyes
I am carried away by a ray of bright light
Then I ask myself if this was worth the disguise
Pride, lust, greed, jealousy, and vengeance dimmed my thoughtful sight
The cruse I had laid upon the land of glory and magic
Withered away in the passage of time
I had been one of the causes of an incident so tragic
I do not know what to call it, whether a curse of a lifetime or a selfish crime
Amidst the downpour of thoughts in my mind
I let myself to peace and left my intriguing thoughts undefined.
Note- Draupadi is one of the main characters in Mahabharath and she is the wife of the Pandavas or the five brothers.
Mahabharath is a great Indian epic which narrates the great war fought between the Kuru clan ( The Pandavas and the Kauravas) for many reasons.
This poem is just my assumption about Draupadi's point of view about the aftermath of the war. I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings or opinions.
