How Long To Be Material? Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar
How Long To Be Material?
I don’t know my grand mother.
She was gone before I was born.
I know her mother who lived
All through my adolescence period.
My grandmother by name lives in me.
Her mother by flesh lives in me
And she only evokes sentiments
When I recollect things about her.
Those dead before you were born
Would be immaterial to you.
To those born after you were dead
You would be immaterial.
