The Rule In Forest And Village Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Forest is the default state of nature.
Rules in the forest are the rules of nature.
The fit survive and the weak succumb.
The smart get food and the rest starve and die.
No regulation and no reservation.
Kali, with hair unbound, is its Goddess.

Village is the domesticated nature.
Rules in the village are rules of people.
Man, animals and plants are domesticated.
Humans are bound by laws, duty and rights.
There is space for the weak, women and kids.
Gauri, with hair well combed, is its Goddess.

Self preservation is the rule of forest.
Coexistence is the norm of village.
Dharma is doing for others' interest.
A-dharma is doing for self at others' cost.
A-dharma rules forest and dharma, village.
Do dharma to keep village from forest.
