Interdependent Origination Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Matter and energy coexist,
Interact, inter-depend and
Convert to each other constantly
Well beyond man's observations.

Everything that is happening
Cannot be explained away
By mere cause and effect theorry.
All're inter-dependant origins.

Predictions are from known cause and effect.
There come unknown causes and effects too.
All the eggs don't hatch; all the seeds don't sprout.
You cover up them with luck and fate.

Interdependent origination
Is an intricate and interwoven
Phenomenon on a constant run,
Defying intuition and reasoning.
