Abetment To Suicide Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Is suicide a crime and doer a criminal?
The victim is a loser and mostly sufferer.
Suicide affects none other than himself.
Punish not suicide and take pity for it.

Is abetment to the suicide a crime?
Abetment to suicide is assistance to suicide,
And can someone's action, considered the base for suicide, be taken as abetment?

Farmers commit suicide. Who is the cause?
Losing court case one might commit suicide.
Scolded by the teacher one may commit it.
Ignored by the lover, the girl may do it.

One can bounce back and be resilient.
One can tide over negativity.
This stage will pass as every stage did.
Skip suicide, to feel that thank God, i didn't.

Punishing one for the suicide attempt
And harassing one following the suicide,
On the charge of abetment to suicide
Are sadistic approaches to be dropped.
