Rajendran Muthiah Poems

You read the myths and tales for pleasure.
When you from work have some leisure.
Seek not God in the holy books of man-made treasure
When He abounds in nature in abundant measure.
...

Without clouds, there is no rain.
Without flowers there is no honey.
Without air, there is no life.
Without bigotry, there is no strife.
...

They are slaves to their work in lands of a few acres
From sunrise to the sunset, eating gruels old or fresh.
Even when they have no coins in their hands
They don't hesitate to borrow money to build temples
...

Have no fear, the heaven is near
If you care for all the humans.
When you take not arms to shed
The blood of human brotherhood
...

40. While being born, the lives ignore the pleas to die.
While dying, the lives are heedless of the pleas to live.
If the goddess of wealth is graceful, wealth increases.
If She is graceless, your wealth is gone.
