A Court Scene from the Mahabharat
Blind Dhritarashtra
yet secure on his throne
is now
deaf
dumb
even though
he can
see
hear
speak
He knows all
Draupadi
disrobed
molested
clawed
mocked
paraded
cries out
for help
Bhishma is mute
sworn to loyalty
Gandhari sits blindfolded
courtiers watch unmoved
Pandavas disabled
having gambled away
their valour
Krishna is nowhere near
Mobs run riot
For Draupadi
all is lost
