Youths have been intoxicated <br />With the glory of dying in war. <br />Women have been intoxicated <br />With the virtue of being chaste. <br /> <br />The literatures have glorified <br />Such people and condemned others. <br />Such men and women lived as slaves <br />So that the kingdom could sleep well. <br />30.01.2009<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-kingdom-could-sleep/
