Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

The autonomic nerves system runs
The automatic functions of organs.
Respiration process has an effect on these.
We can impact it involuntary though.
...

Health cannot be bought with money
Death God cannot be fought with money.
Here lies solace to all people.
Here lies warning to all people
...

Women are sounder than lass in appeal.
A middle aged woman is no longer
Kitchen bound and children bound.
She stays put not when the marriage works not.
...

Petals with their shapes and hues
Are of no use for the bees
Who stumbled over the petals.
So are women closeted with men.
...

‘One could smile and smile and still be a villain’
The smile comes very easily to a villain.
The one who is sober is branded a brute.
We seek smiling faces as flies do flames.
...

Mutual desire is the essence of sexual relationship.
A man taking a woman out to dinner
Is paying to felicitate her desire for him.
A man hiring a prostitute for sex
...

Accustomed to seeing games on the screen,
You find no taste in seeing them on the ground.
An addict of seeing women in porn films,
You find no arousal from woman in bed.
...

Wisdom will not lessen sensitiveness
Lavishness will not liquidate meanness.
Assurance will not eliminate greed.
Elevation will not promote servitude.
...

'A leak will sink a ship; '
A drop (poison) will spoil the milk.

A lamp will light the dark;
...

Breathing is a manifestation of life.
Breathing is a bridge that is connecting
The conscious and the unconscious.
...
