Exemptions.


                             l
Every rule might have an exemption;
But every exemption need not bypass a rule.
People are visibly good because,
Their badness is exempted.
Life is obviously full of joy because,
Our eyes have dried up the tears.
The cycle of relationship sustains its speed,
Because it rides over all its ruckus.
Revenge and forgiveness exempt each other.
Friendship exempts all clauses,barring betrayal.
Marriage exempts women from gender mutuality.
Love exempts selective hatred as human foible.
Each exemption is a loophole in human foundation;
Each foundation is laid down with a tacit temptation.

                                  ll 
Religion exempts even deadly sins from punishment, 
Contending the ledger of God through confessions.
When God Himself is exempted from religious fury,
Temples,mosques,churches,synagogues  
And various other places of worship,
Seek exemption from their respective scriptures.
Profit comes with the exemption of loss.
Tax exemptions are a token of concession,
Made available on top of burning taxes.
Even Justice exempts crimes on benefit of doubt.
People exempt political frauds through the ballot.
Trade exempts consumers,from their eligible benefits.
It is all exemptions galore for the sake of convenience
To let each routine exempted,from its ethical lenience.
P. Chandrasekaran
