Man’s Role Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The elder son of each family
Jointly made a moral code
By which they must not eat
Each other and instead
They could live on their brothers and sisters,
Who are meant to serve them.
The elder sons of the family
Made it a law of their father
With no concern to their mother.
The mother was furious.
The time is not far to neglect
The elder son altogether.

[Father is the God, Mother is the Earth,
the elder brother is man, brother is animals and sister is vegetation]
