The Lost Wanderer!

The Lost Wanderer!

1 min
289

Blessed by Shiva

Cursed by Vishnu

He wanders for eons

Looking for salvation

But cursed is he


Gemstone between the eyes

A blessing divine

He roams the grasslands

Of the plains of the North

Yet cursed is he


Privileged by birth

Forsaken by death

He climbs tall peaks

Of snow-clad Himalayas

And cursed is he


A weapon fired wrongly

At a fetus in the womb

He carries a wound

In the middle of his temple

'Cos cursed is he


A never healing gape

His identity makes

He suffers a lonely life

Wandering in the wild

Since cursed is he! 


Ashwathama, 

The son of Drona

Duryodhana's friend

Pandava's foe

Forever cursed is he


I know of no wanderer

Like this lore of the lost

He seeks penance

For millenniums

Oh! So cursed is he!
