Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

He was my friend, higher than me in rank.
The difference was perceptible
To me in my manners towards him
And in his manner towards me as well.
...

While woman’s lips attract man’s eyes
She’s not let down for her anus.
While great men command your respect
Be they not let down for some weakness.
...

Death comes in different manners.
It’s a kind of experience
Only the deceased could know it.
Each one is in dark till he meets it.
...

When you fight with your siblings
Imagine that your children are fighting
And that your mother is watching you
it will dampen your bitterness.
...

He, the widower, met her, the widow,
Accidentally in the place of her
After twenty prime years of their lives
That followed their painful aborted love.
...

Something happens for which
I fix something as the cause.
It may or may not be so.
...

Past middle age, man is a dog
And is desperate to steak out.
He must test his worth with women
Before his looks fizzles out with aging.
...

He cannot show his love by eyes.
He will be booked for nuisance.
He cannot pursue a woman.
He will be booked for stalking.
...

Everything is God’s.
Must we offer Him one?
Everyone is alike to Him.
Must we ask Him favours?
...

The miser enjoys
In not spending his money.
The chaste woman enjoys
In not giving out her body.
