Karna

             My Interpretation of what Karna might have had Going through his mind in his last Moments

  

O` Almighty Krishna, even at d risk of drawing your Wrath;

I dared to come with my "Vijaya" in Arjun`s Gandhiva`s Path,

I knew I stood no chance against Parth in d Battle Field;

for You were his Charioteer, Guide and Protection Shield,

But I fought with him not so much out of Anger or Hate,

as much to Prove my Loyalty and Meet my awaiting Fate.

O`Mother Kunti, I hold against you no Ire;

4 U only wanted what any mother would Desire,

Even after defeating every pandava except arjun in d field;

I spared them as promised, to temptations i did not yield,

Sadly there is no place for both Arjun`s Glory and Karna`s Fame,

I had to Perish, so that he Sparkled with a Brighter Flame.

O` revered Parshuram, My teacher with Insurmountable Might;

I realized whatever U taught me was for this very Fight,

Although Falling to Your Curse, I lost in today`s Strife

with ur Blessings, I gained Everlasting Glory in this very Life.

O` dear Draupadi, may Happiness 4m U never remain far;

even though U insulted me as d son of d puller of the battle-car,

I was the Embodiment of all the Qualities that U desired,

but due to your own folly U came into Shakuni`s Line of Fire;

O` dear Duryodhana, Forgive me for failing in my last Stand;

but it was a pleasure to have ur hand of friendship in my Hand,

Ignored by all, U were the one who spotted inside me the Burning Fire;

U recognized my ability and gave me respect by making me a king , a Sire.

O` revered Father, Deity of the Sun;

I am proud to be your Progeny, your Son,

although Unacknowledged by my own, and by Fate Undone 

I have Proved worth my blood, Second to None.

Although I lived as a 'SutaPutra', O Kunti I die as ur Child;

Finally at the Right Place, after a life wandering in the Wild,

Even after being Virtuous, Pious and Kind in every Aspect,

My whole Life I longed for this Acceptability and Respect,

After all the Betrayals, now betraying me is my Fleeting Breath,

but with d Vision of Ur Divine form My Lord, I will die a Happy Death.
