An erroneous decision?
P K Routray
An epitome of sin and vice
hatred, violence and malice,
all negative demoniac qualities
is KALI as the poetic theme here sees.
Parikshit was a king, powerful and pious,
bent upon to removing anything vicious
on the earth to have eternal heavenly bliss.
Kali’s notoriety, his raft attention did not miss.
Rushed he to finish Kali the demoniac and dirty.
Laying in prostrate Kali begged the king’s mercy.
Ordered him the king to vanish from the earth
so that his subjects live in peace, piety and mirth.
Kali’s humble logic proving his right to live in his kingdom
aroused the king’s righteous and judiciary wisdom.
Permitted the King, Kali four places to live in humility,
and an additional place on Kali’s advocacy for mobility,
Places earmarked redressing kali’s grievance,
were a slaughter house a place of violence,
a bar with unpardonable intoxication
a brothel a place for illicit lusty elation,
a place where betting goes on with wild passion,
and a treasury with illegal wealth collection.
All the above is part of Hindu scripture
eulogizing the king Parikshit as the main character.
The man is neither demon or divine,
and occupies a place of his own in between.
With virtue and vice, pleasure and pain,
love and hate they are destined to remain.
Lust, greed, jealousy and anger being a part of his nature
likely he will visit the places for recreation and pleasure.
The king perhaps could not foresee this
hence Kali today does prosper and flourish.
Submit humbly this author on Parikshit’s blunder
begging pardon for the audacity proposing readers to ponder.
The decision of the king would have suited to the present day
would he have allotted field of games and sports for Kali to stay.
While competing for the benefit of physical heath
the vices thus adorning Kali are inspiring wealth.
Forget should man after the competition
asking Kali to stay on the field for its positive contribution.
(N.B Parikshit is the main character behind The Bhagawat the main scripture of The Hindus and get worshipped.
Kali is the embodiment of negative character.
It is a humerous proposal to be read in lighter vein)
