Weed The Greed. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

We earn for the need, beyond the need
And more than the need that we increase.
We earn for rainy days and raise wealth
For many generations to fall on.

Greed is the basic instinct like sex.
Modern economy fuels it.
Luxury and vanity demand it.
Honesty and ethics are buried.

Ceiling on the salary is the need.
Ceiling on the properties is the need.
To treat the greedy with due contempt
Must be the goal of the society.
