Poems by Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar. : 1542 / 7398
Fear and lust, co born.
Fear: that you can’t tear.
It has come with you from womb
When you were thrown out
To air medium from water medium.
Lust: that you can’t burst.
It is there in your gene,
In a form from the zygote,
To rule till end in your domain.
Fear that you can’t tear
Till you succumb to the fear.
Lust that you can’t burst
Till you succumb to death.
