The Boatman's Song 25 of Many
The Boatman’s Song 25/ Many
The Boatman left the chamber of the Queen
And vanished in the darkness, to give shape to his schemes
One by one his men got hold of all the Guards
Some of them were totally eliminated
Some duly tied-up, were put behind a locked chamber like bar
And some of them were made, temporarily limp like
To take care of their master the Traitor
Before the dawn was about to approach,
The Boatman got hold of the real traitor
And after a fierce fight, he got hold of him
The dawn came next morning, but it was a different Sunrise
It was the festival day of Vasant* and
The Sun came that day with a different shade and shine
The mist and long dwelling fog had vanished that day
Although the season of Spring has yet to set its music
But the Palace was singing a different tune
After many years the Palace was feeling a thrill and joy
As its most beloved the King of Malla*, the Queen
And the Princess were enjoying a new Sunshine
The Palace was free today, from all the vicious men
And many of them were put before the King in his court
To put them on trial and to give them the punishment
It was a different Court assembly, after many years
When the King was sitting on his throne, with a face smiling
The court was full of all the courtesans and council members
Where all the respected citizens, of Malla* republic were invited
And they came to attend this extra ordinary assembly
Called by the King, on the auspicious day of Vasant Utsav*
After many years the court of the King assembled
The king heard the group and its head traitors
And gave them a chance to tell the truth
And once he was convinced,
Gave punishment of death to their chief traitor
Along with all those, who were hands in gloves
Somehow, one black sheep escaped the Palace,
To continue the legacy of his father’s hatred
It was the son of the chief traitor
After punishing the traitors of the Kingdom of Malla*
The King announced a special ceremony
Which held in the Kingdom, never before in its history
To honor the Heroes of the today’s ceremony
Ravindra continue on 26 ….
