Equilibrium Of Life Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

‘Life is an equilibrium state
Between synthesis of protein
And degradation of protein.'
As long as vital organs are
In equilibrium there is life.
Synthesis implies creation;
Degradation means annihilation.
Both are an ongoing process.

They together can contribute
To equilibrium in one's life.
Creation consumes energy,
By which the system is taken
To a non-equilibrium state.
Degradations lower energy,
By which the system is brought
To equilibrium state again.

Equilibrium in matter
Is tilted by the force around.
Equilibrium of a person
Is tilted by surrounding forces.
His metabolism is balanced
By his food, thoughts and action.
Having equilibrium in life
And emotion is the way of life.
