A Rama! Poem by Ramesh T A

A Rama!

Rating: 2.8


Hay Rama! A man of example for the world!
Is there anyone live like you anywhere now?
Relinquishing power can anyone live in the forest?
Forgetting family can anyone govern the nation?

Forgetting self you obeyed your parents till the end;
Forgetting wife you governed the people till the end;
And good people looked after your wife and children;
You ruled, handed over power to the heirs and died!

What was your wish? Nobody had known!
What was your interest? Nobody had thought!
What was your dream? No one had guessed!
What was your happiness? No one had imagined!

Is there anyone who can form Rama Rajya to rule people?
Can anyone be like Rama to make this world a heaven?

Was the world of Rama a heaven for Seeta? What did she get from him? Forest life, ignoble existence in Lanka? Humiliation of having to go thru agnipariksha - being driven out of home when she most needed care?

no...no there is'nt any Rama to give us ramarajyam...they are only using his name to segregate people the opposition is using it to divert people...secular or not giving proper governance does not seem to be in their agenda
