DRAUPADI IN KAURAVA COURT ...

( A Painting by Raja Ravi Verma ) )

To this painting, I add my latest poem, 'We Still Waiting'....

(We, Still Waiting)

Like hapless Draupadi,

We plead,

Before a court already lost to Duryodhana’s will

And Shakuni’s loaded dice.

They gave us lollipops,

Sweet lies that tore our tongues,

Left them scarred, bleeding,

Unable to speak our sorrow.

Our wounds are weighed

By the hands that made them;

So mercy falls silent,

And justice never comes.

We wait.
