Migration Is Not Rosy Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Migration is a good conduit
For the flow of skills and wages
To the place where it is needed.
Indo-Aryans came to India.
Africans sold to America.
Indians taken to the countries
Held by the British for field works.
Migrations of slaves and coolies
Helped them to get a foothold
But left the race unwanted now.
Territorial pride rules everywhere.
Migration involves its own risks.
Better be and thrive where you are.
Better be content with what it gives.
