Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

The government gives power
To its judiciary,
By responding to its verdicts.
The judiciary goes powerless
...

Be your child fairer and entails hugging.
I will stop doing it in case you fail
To take notice of my child and kiss it.
We’ve to bargain to preserve our worth.
...

A woman who sexually attracts men
And in turn is attracted by many,
Cannot admit all and she reject all
And mutely suffer from self denial.
...

Selfishness is an inborn trait,
That preserves the self and its babes.
To serve the others also is a part
Of selfishness. Don’t escape it.
...

Circles where I lived were left.
With that, friends and sweethearts.
To be with them will never come.
Longing for this is worrisome.
...

If only more women take jobs
And if only more women get to posts
How warm the environment would be,
All men at work mused long ago.
...

Men who look more promising
Want you for a night, not for life.
It earns you shame and costs you throne
You’d regret the misadventure.
...

Forget not the mother tongue.
Abandon not cults and rites.
Avoid cross breed and retain pattern names.
You must be identified.
...

Husband reposes confidence
And wife repays him with faith.
She is the trust he invests in.
They’re secure in each other.
...

Rain is same; earth colours it.
Blood is red; skin wraps it.
Soul is same; body defines it.
They are treated by their sheaths..
...
