Understand To Take A Strong Stand Poem by Mailrangam Visvanathan Venkataraman

When we cooperate kindly by adjusting
The World may not understand us fully
They may exploit us by badly treating
Such an attitude is wide prevalent here

Sages may ask us to be very kind
But, that noble trait is mistaken
And we may be terribly insulted
There is a possibility for that thing

We will take the extra step to bless
That may be considered negatively
Our generosity gets misunderstood
This is indeed a normal occurrence

Due to that, we can't change our style
But, extra prudence must be obtained
Shrewd way of behavior is a necessity
We can't behave ever by being innocent

If we follow not rectifying our blunders
Only heart-ache will be the result
We must act with a tinge of wisdom
We must not fall flat becoming a prey

We must use maturity in our dealings
By acquiring the skill to wisely analyze
In case we continue to be just ignorant
World will build on us its strong fort.
