Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

The object is not seen.
Too far is it to see.
Too small is it to see.
Too dim is light on it.
...

A lone tree will not make a grove.
In a grove too, it stands itself.
A lone man makes no society.
In a society too, he stands himself.
...

Sexual love is irrational.
It defies logic and moral.
It is often one sided.
One wants it to inspire oneself.

Imagine a field with a fence.
Imagine it without a fence.
Imagine it with a fence and a gate,
Like which must be your contact field.
...

Every new sector
Set up by the government
To serve the people
Will only empower some

Shoot and roots of a seedling.
You and your children are
Root and shoots of a seedling.

Be a writer or a poet.
Be a singer or a musician.
You will have spent longer
In happiness than others.
...

Words from lips are hollow;
Words from mind are shallow;
Words from heart are arrows.
...

Patience sometimes delivers
And sometimes brings disaster.
Not sure how it would turn.
Postmortem helps no way.
...

It is good, they say; so do I.
He is big, they say; so do I.
God is great, all say; so do I.
She is cute, they say; not so to me.
