Pain of Karna and his ilks

Kinship with you had only given us
Pain, humiliation, and jealousy
You would be always be kings
We would be your dignified servants
Everything that you would have
Could have been ours
If we had mothers of royal blood line
Who made sure that we would get throne
But our mothers were only worried about
Keeping thorns out of our way

For our fate
Should we blame our mothers
Or our father
Or let’s say your father for sleeping
With our mothers

We know that you could not rule
Without our help
To sustain the kingdom of yours
We would pay with our life
Despite our credentials
We would be cursed to prove
Ourselves at every step of life
We are Vidura, Karna, or Yuyutsu
Or sutta of this cruel world
