The Growth Driven Set Up Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The Growth Driven Set Up



Pushed by one behind, I push one in front.
Nudged by one beside, I nudge one beside.
An effect made is carried over in chains.
The borrowed capital must be returned.
The rental on things hired must be paid.
The bribe paid must be recovered somehow.
Recurring expenses must also be met.
The burden is transferred to consumers.
Unscrupulous earning is hence let loose
At the cost of ethics and honesty.
This is the growth driven economy,
Where means are sacrificed for the end.
