Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

A swan was chosen as Miss Water Bird.
Herons and cranes learnt to see charm in her.
However, ducks could not find any charm.
The worldwide beauty contest is meaningless.
...

Be it any part on woman’s body;
It’s an erroneous zone in man’s touch.
Man’s erroneous zone is confined only
On his private part in woman’s handling.
...

Live-in relationship
Is two seeds in a pod,
With enough comfort zone.
...

Being hot, the pan scorched my finger
It is my fault to touch it when it’s hot
It is not that I should abandon it
Don’t abandone men for their outbursts
...

No one is suffering from disease.
No one is starving for food or clothes.
No accidental death; no brutal death.
Men wish but not the God. Whose’s good?
...

Alertness is due to anxiety
Anxiety is due to fear complex
Adrenals are overactive
Aftereffects are destructive
...

Meetings to chatting, chatting to friendship
And friendship to intimacy will grow love
Between two souls and would halt there itself
Onlookers infer adultery, and gossip
...

Laws and norms can make one equal
By birth, race, region or religion
The victim is not at ease to deal
As others’ consciousness carries it.
...

One is desperate to divorce one’s wife
And the other is passionate to marry her
The new combination might work well
As by the time their minds seasoned
...

The greatest threat, the biggest loss
And the deepest pain is one’s death
To oneself. The greatest relief
Is that one’s memory is dead.
...
