Must One Live A Hundred Year? Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Must One Live A Hundred Year?



Living a hundred year is a curse;
One has to witness organs’ failures
One by one and bear the sufferings,
Neglects, fear and humiliation
Like King Ravan in the Mahabharata,
Who witnessed the deaths of son and brothers
And his ten heads severed one by one by Rama
And bore loss, pain, shame and humiliation.

I personally do not wish to live to this age. Although longevity exists in the family! Great grandma lived to 102!
