Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

A thought is conceived in one’s brain
By the fusion of memory, the ovum
And the perception, the sperm.
A child is a copy, not a duplicate.
...

The sexual love between man and woman
Is as good and as fresh as their maiden love,
Not marred by their past or concurrent love.
This is the reward embedded in a life.
...

Man and woman are drawn to each other
When they are of their own or similar
Personality and social background.
Then attraction will have a say for love.
...

Man is content with cuddles
Woman wants it to end in sex.
She is left with discontent,
Which her child caring overcomes.
...

I love singing the songs of God.
I love hearing the songs of God.
I love doing rites meant for God.
He knows I love other than Him.
...

What pride can you have in the son’s glory
If the world does not know you as father?
Where is interest in your son’s earnings
If you cannot make use of it in need?
...

I’ve lived for long and am about to go.
My offspring must live well and die in peace.
Their offspring must help them as they did us.
Why is my wish not going beyond that?
...

No emperor is bigger than the coffin.
No living thing is taller than the grave.
...

The institution exploited me.
The employer exploited me.
The doctors too exploited me
The lawyer is not of exception.
...

The insurance agent, the doctor,
The lawyer, the teacher and the broker
Are seemingly interested in you.
They are concerned about their existence.
...
