That Is How Fate Operates. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

He repays one tenth to me.
He repays tenfold to him.
That is how Fate operates.

I excel him in knowledge.
He receives more attention.
That is how Fate operates.

I am sincere in my words
Yet I get no weight to it.
That is how Fate operates.

I do avoid doing sins
And yet get undue sufferings.
That is how Fate operates.

I am chivalry to her
The conceited one scored hers.
That is how Fate operates.

The world is not a balance
Where weighing is perfect,
Thanks to the influence of Fate.
