Guru Drona, Say You If Arjuna Was Your Disciple, Not Eklavya? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Guru Drona,
Say you
If Arjuna was
Your disciple,
Not Eklavya?

Was Eklavya
Not your disciple,
Say you,
Keep not mum?

Were you
So hard of heart
That asked you
For his thumb?

How could it,
How could it be,
Guru Drona,
Weren't you biased
And prejudiced, say you?

Making him gift the finger,
As your guru-dakshina,
Stained you guruhood,
As a black spot
On the forehead.

Drona,
O, Drona, making him gift
The poor forester
Tribal boy,
Sinned you
With your dastard act!

Now the world hates you,
Hates you, Drona,
Calls you, calls you,
Selfish, selfish
And partisan!

On seeing you, feel I,
Weren't, weren't you
A Brahmin pontifical
And hypocritical,
Seeking royal privilege?
