A Time And A Place For An Action. Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

For every action taken,
A proper place is chosen,
As the situation commands
And the right-time demands.

With a bottle of foaming milk,
A teetotaler sat for a drink,
In the shade that fell
From a Palmyra tree tall.

Others could as well think,
It was Palmyra-toddy, not milk,
As both took the color white,
And the site betrayed their sight.

One in search of peace,
Will he go to a market place
Or seek a spot-in-silence?
Which one he’ll choose?

A proper place for an action,
At the proper time chosen,
Should give one satisfaction
When he’s after perfection.
