Stoke Your Intellects Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Art of thinking is intellect;
Art of learning is intelligence.
Schools promote intelligence.
Need of the hour is intellect.

Art of thinking improves wisdom.
Superstitions vacate the place.
Rational thinking takes place.
Materialism takes a back seat.

It is intellect that overpowers
The trials and tribulations,
Mundane challenges and onslaughts
And rigours of environment.

It is intellect that compensates
With compassion and kindness,
Tolerance and non-violence
And commitments to the NAture.

Class topers may fare poor in life.
Drop outs may fare better in life.
Be a Socrates in your making.
Stoke intellect to save yourselves.
