Repetition Compulsion Syndrome Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Repetition Compulsion Syndrome



Habits that lost meanings are practiced;
Rituals with purpose lost are performed.
Thoughts irrelevant now are yet pursued.
Repetition Compulsion is at work.

Lack of will power and fear of consequence
Might work against discontinuation.
An illusory identity comes
To stay obsessively despite discomfort.

Known devils fare more than unknown angels.
We repeat what was held good in the past.
Death follows birth; it's in each one's thought.
Death wish is the cause of self-sacrifice.

Death is nothing but just liberation.
Each one has an innate drive to get free
From the bonds, fears and repercussions,
All that the birth has brought with it to stay.

The innate desires to be free of bonds
Is not met with meaningless sacrifices
But is met with shedding inhibitions
About irrational habits and rituals.
