When life's bitter gets the better of one

No matter if you are son of the Sun

You are not the only one - all on earth are

Under clouds or clear sky - weather it like a star

Overcast by the shadows of birth

Forever must one brood on dearth?

Fostered and nurtured with love - not left to drown

Fixated on the riven frown and not one's given crown 

Gaining greatness through lying

Craven craving leads to dying

Living in luxury with loyal friends

Too dazzled to see their evil ends

Generous to a fault - fault of pride

Hell bent on one act -a tact for suicide 

Deaf to wise counsel are such ears

Plight of others - this foul-mouth sneers  

Bemoaning always in one montonous chord

Blind to the present, past pain poisoned blood

Blind to a brighter future offered by the Lord

Not rising like a lotus - but died stuck in the mud.

Mahabharata shows us both the virtue and its vice

Leaving a lot for its readers to surmise

Lest we moan our lot and groan at human nature's bum

The Gita shows us how to reconcile and how to overcome!
