To attend my ailing parents <br />And conduct their funerals <br />To support my weak wife <br />And, perhaps, see off her <br />And to be at others’ mercy <br />And wait to face the death <br />At a time when I grew weak <br />Are the greatest burden <br />Heavier than the life led. <br />I wish I was not born.<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-burdensome-life/
