Kurukshethra

Little kid

whispers Father

there’s one thing

I want you

to remember

don’t turn to Achhan

turn

to kshethram

never forget..

this world

of the senses

of the elements

the emotions

the intellect

is there

for a purpose

you don’t have

to push through

you don’t need

force

expand your focus

but stay on

one course

keep your view steady

stay with

one horse

with all you have

seek the blessings

of the Lord

of prestige n power

of name n fame

of glory n beauty

of illusion’s game

to let you pass

untouched

unscathed

for..you

are the audience

not the play

you the witness

not the bait

If ever

you try to

skirt around

this holy ground

where the game

plays out

always remember

my dear little child

you will

end up making

your centre

whatever you try to avoid

Just remember

my dear

stay on course

and never

never

loosen…

your horse
