Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

An autocrat brain works fast,
Senses no danger and sooner
Would perish..
A democrat brain balances
...

When a man had a woman in bed
He would feel that he had hunted a bird.
No more mercy could she expect
For the price she had offered.

It gives you no joy, nor sorrow.
You take no side, nor disturbed.
Involvement kills the indifference.
...

I rescued a cat.

Some more rats would die.
I killed a cat.

Too much liberty corrupts one;
Too much freedom blinds one.
Too little liberty shackles one;
Too little freedom disarms one.

You are the yesterday’s paper.
The hot news is forgotten.

It means he still wants you.
If someone is grateful to you,
It means he still finds green of you.

Are not the objects of contempt
To us or the fellow animals,
But the black are so to others, why?

The flower blossoms with the sun,
Flirts with the bee and bears
Pollen grains of some other stalk.
The girl befriends the brave,
...

The commendation certificates,
The graduation certificates,
The experience certificates
And the birth certificate
...
