Vibhishana's Coronation

At Ravana's death, Vibhishana inconsolably cried
To protect Ravana, he had sincerely tried
Ravana not listening to him was not his fault
Yet Vibhishana in his heart felt immense guilt

On the other hand, Ravana's actions, he did hate
Between love and righteousness, Vibhishana was torn by fate
"Lord! Shri Rama! I bow to thee
Please do guide me, how to be

When I think of Kumbhakarna's death
Love for Ravana, comes to a dearth
If only Ravana had listened to me
Alive and well, Indrajeeth would be

I want Ravana to suffer in hell
Am I right? Please do tell
On the other hand, for Ravana I'm sad
After all, he's my brother, though he was bad

Please do guide me, Oh Rama
How do I act, in this drama"
Lord Rama understood Vibhishana's grief
Lord Rama, the right way, he explained in brief

"As much as possible, we should keep doing good
For good Karma to grow in us, good acts are food
For Ravana's mistake he has paid the price
For dead souls sake we must act very nice

Offering water and sesame seeds, we must help the dead
From hunger and thirst, dead people's suffering is unsaid
All enmity and judgements, a person's death does end
For helping the departed souls, our actions we must bend"

Saying so, Vibhishana from his confusion, Rama did guide
To offer Sesame seeds and water, Vibhishan did decide
To Ravana, Vibhishan offered water and sesame seeds
Forgiving from his heart, Ravana's wicked deeds

After that Vibhishan was coronated King
Vibhishan's praise, the Lankites did sing
Thus Vibhishan was guided and made king by Ram
Jai Shri Ram Jai Jai Shri Ram!!
