The Sufferings Of The Old Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The old age is bitter, which cancels
All happiness one has had earlier.
He is helpless and wanting like a child.
Unlike a child, he lacks parental cares.
Wealth he has kept is of no use to him,
When he’s lost his active brain to handle.
Being at the mercy of others for life,
He would suffer the most from want of aid,
With no alternative and with no appeal.
His end of life is the Hell he lives through.
One’s suffering end indicates one’s sins.
