Be On Your Own Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Be On Your Own



A cup of tea from your purse,
A glass of wine offered by others,
Which pricks, which sooths?

A hut that is your own,
A mansion where you’re an offshoot,
Which you pride on, which you deride?

A radio of yours to listen to,
A television next door to watch,
Which comforts, which piques?

The freedom and not comfort matters.
