Mahabharat



There was a time when people were selfless and humble
But the personal egos and immature principles caused a lot of trouble

This was the era of protecting self-values and holding the rights
The era so established was not according to Bharata’s visionary site

Dominance, Governance, and Empowerment were the only remaining goals
Vengeance and politics nearly killed the dreams of poor innocent souls

The kind-hearted and compassionate ones abandoned their rights and sought penance
The blind ones sat back and took care of unrightful adolescence.

Time was weeping due to the silence of great worthy elders
Injustice and discrimination penetrated the hearts of different caste and genders

Staying calm, composed, and honest is not always the appropriate choice
Protecting the rightful ones can also be done by deceit or raising voice

No wonder a game of dice can win you the entire world
Nevertheless, power and blessings always stay with the valiant, it's confirmed

Doing the rightful duty is the only goal of the brave warrior
Even the great undefeated powers cannot shatter the justified barrier

Ego, unnotable revenge, and bad circle can demolish people and pride
Hospitality and compassion can only curb the sufferings in and outside.
