Regressive Culture Bleeds. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Indian culture is the most conservative.
Tamil culture can be the most regressive.
Vigilance against adultery is everywhere.
Virginity and chastity are secure.

Globalization reforms India
Men are always ready for casual sex.
Women aren't averse when choices are made.
Guilt and qualm are no longer the restraints.

Social media help finding partners.
Workplace and learning place offer bases.
Electronic media establish contacts.
Love, pre and extra marital, swamps the scene.

Dating, courting and flirting abound
But are not translated into mating
For want of place and from hostile public.
Perversion or starvation is the outcome.

Falling in love is an animation;
Pursuing love is an inspiration.
Love is the drainage of emotions blocked.
Shut your eyes to others' private affairs.
