Don’t Ask The God Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Don’t ask the God for anything!

He cannot make you rich without
Making others poor to suit.
He didn’t form the Himalayas
Without digging the Pacific.

You must suffer for you inflict;
You are a victim of chances;
You too will get lost like the rest.
Your asking is others’ losing.

Yours is a part and the others’
Is the rest to make you exist.
You can bear the cross as feathers
And shy the crown as thorns the least.

Don’t ask the God for anything!
