Dissect Your Tendencies. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

To guard reputation, one does no wrong.
To build reputation, one does no wrong.
Fearing punishment or retaliation,
Or from shame, one might avoid doing wrongs.
Be causes any; outcome is welcome.

Driven to the wall, one would do some wrongs.
Under coercions, one would do great wrongs.
Hoping for an escape, caught in impulsion,
Or out of revenge, one might do some wrongs.
Be causes any, outcome is irksome.

What about the people doing much wrong
As a sport or an adventure through out
Or the ones who do wrongs with preparedness
To undergo the punishment of any range?
They're diseased, need treatment, not punishment.

A wrong committed, retrospect why so.
Reform yourself or else you may decay,
Causing agony to those around you.
Be it a lesson to all, all the time,
As none is ones who haven't done any wrong.
