Let Us Change! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

When the heart is on fire, it loves,
When the heart is hungry, it provides,
When the heart is cold, it hates,
When the heart is frozen, it is merciless.

When the mind is on fire, it seeks,
When the mind has the appetite, it gulps,
When the mind is stagnant, it becomes wild,
When the mind is static, it is a hell.

The seeking mind has the loving heart,
The hungry heart helps the mind to have appetite,
When the needs are felt, the life is tastier,
When the new changes are sought, we are happier.

The changes that make us to be healthy,
The changes that transfer us to be more democratic,
The changes that quieten our quest to be tolerant,
when these changes are sought, we will be merrier.
