Raj Arumugam Poems

you know
to lofty heights
they praise
the spirit and the other cliche, the soul
...

so you die
and you’re born a ghost -
you’re a child-ghost;
and do you know
...

I’m so proud of my son Murali
cos he’s always thinking smart
and efficient
...

like it or not
the other person has rights
so you can’t really
screw them up
...

I’m going home,
says the bat
at the break of dawn
Going straight
...

and so the Boss asks Michael
at the interview:
So can you
handle a variety of tasks?
...

our daughter
if nothing else
is so respectful
of her elders and so,
...

smooth like a breeze
let us move, let us walk
in this snow
...

Fuji-san
I'm bored and life's hard:
let me run away
The master makes me work all day
...

restraint, control and moderation
abstinence and severe renunciation
of all effort, emotions and wants
these lead one to knowledge of oneself -
...
