Astray

There’s no doubt: The Lord will surely kill
But just see - also Ravana will do !
I really cannot trust in my own will
Bewildered, though the options are just two...

I have before my eyes this or that way
But in any case, suffering is my fate
The final result time alone will say
For now, determination must be great.

If I silently die by Rama’s shoot
That would be really glorious for my image
And it would end all problems by the root

However, the dilemma so far stands
-I can’t even keep silence on this page-
My heart insists on dying in the wrong hands.

Marica was order by Ravana to go and cheat Sri Rama. If he refuses, Ravana would kill him. If he goes ahead, Rama would kill him. Thus, it was just a matter of deciding by whom to be killed. So is life... But amanzingly we still hesitate to be killed by Rama!
