No Escape Of Soul Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The steam engine runs from steam,
Which comes from heat energy
Of the coal when it is burnt.
When at halt, energy ceases.

Man lives from life energy,
Which comes from heat energy
Of the food when it is burnt.
When at death, life energy ceases.

When coal burns, comes heat energy
From the potential energy.
When the coal burnt out, remains ash,
And heat energy is no more.

At death no escape of soul
With life force being dying.
A candle put out, the flame dies
And does not escape to exist.

Soul and body is a misconception.
It is like heat and water in blend.
Water cooling, comes no more heat.
The switch off bulb emits no current.

Body dying, remains no more life-force.
The dead body emits no more energy.
The emission of energy comes to an end.
The soul is a force applied on the body.

Energy potential converts to kinetic
When coal is burnt and heat exists.
Energy potential converts to kinetic
When food is burnt and life exists.
