A text of ancient, layered lore,
The Manusmriti, from ages of yore.
A dharma shastra, some declare,
Outlining conduct, beyond compare.

It speaks of varna, duties defined,
For every class, a path aligned.
Of kings and laws, of right and wrong,
A social order, meant to be strong.

Yet within its verses, shadows reside,
Of rigid norms, where some confide
In harsh decrees, on women and castes,
A legacy debated, through time that lasts.

A document complex, both hailed and decried,
Its influence lingers, cannot be denied.
A moral compass, or a binding chain?
Its relevance pondered, again and again.
