Sunahsepha 4- Unanswered Prayers Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Sunahsepha 4- Unanswered Prayers
Sold, in exchange of a thousand cows
Soldiers took possession of me; kept
Under close guard, for fear of Indra
Flowing tears could melt no hearts.
None of my tearful prayers evoked
Any answer from Indra. Either they
Did not reach him, or he was
Reassured of his throne by now.
I remembered what mother had said, She
Had descended from Brahma, the Creator.
I wanted to propitiate Brahma Pitamaha
So, he may protect his progeny from death.
Nothing happened, though. Probably he had
No time for this little urchin, I thought.
Pushed by the soldiers, my legs gave way,
But the soulless soldiers dragged me away.
........But I continued my prayers
........For I just wanted to live.
