Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Insert it into the scripture.
Be it told in all discourses.
Be it taught from childhood.
Though a lie, it turns a gospel.
...

If you fevour the labour
You tax the consumers.
If you fevour the consumers,
You tax the labour.
...

Information is not knowledge;
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not instinct.
Instinct is amoral
...

Be away from the men of importance.
dropp your ambition of befriending them.
Else, their meanness would become naked.
You will see them with hate instead of love.
...

If anything is uninteresting,
Be it cinema, story or people,
It is not that these are substandard ones
But that you are misfit to their standard.
...

I grew a fruit tree that failed to bear.
The hope and joy I got in its growth
Being the reward for my efforts,
I should not curse the tree for its failure.
...

The hurt hurled at one, when borne with toughness
Or with compassion, will have little impact
Like that of an axe falling on a rock
Or in the water instead of the wood.
...

A woman of thirty five
And a mother of two kids,
With modesty to the core,
She was lured to fall for him
...

A robust, fair and modest woman,
A mother of two little children,
Entertained men to her bedroom
With the consent of her husband
...

A man, even at his seventy,
Can be a potential danger
To a woman, even of sixty.
Self restraint is the need of the hour.
...
