Old wise trees- painting-oil on canvas - Mr.S. Chellaiah

Some get it all wrong

They plan, scheme and win

Life misguides them

The winner calls himself a winner

He is yet to know the implications

Life awaits with brutal laws

Many have given them names

Dharmas, values are survival rules

To live long, to mellow with age

To leave this birth with grace

To meet the other end of the stream

Laws have to be understood


Do not hurt the innocent

Do not hurt the weak

Do not exploit the ignorant


Laws of life, laws of  species


Schools have forgotten

They are marching towards marks

Encouraged by greedy souls

Called 'loving parents'

Conducting inquiries to teachers

If the child loses one mark


The laws exist on their own

They will wake us up

It is just a matter of time.
