Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Anger is a reaction;
Dream is a reflection.
Irritations give anger;
Activations [of brain] give dreams.
...

The person you desire
Is, was and will be desired by others.
The person you desire
Desires, desired and would desire others.
...

Possessiveness is delusion.
It seeks absolute ownerships
And exclusive enterprise.
It binds one with a golden chain.
...

When robbed, no shame is to the victim.
When swindled, no shame is to the victim.
When raped, all shame is to the raped.
The society is to be blamed.
...

To stop the growth of violence;
To stop the growth of theft and fraud;
To stop the growth of sexual assault;
Mothers can do as role models.
...

What you wrote may not appeal some
Who must know it is not for them,
And must refrain from degrading.
They aren’t the targeted readers.
...

Unless you have one who is anxious
Of your return when it is delayed and
Unless you have one whom you can count on,
You don’t feel the purpose of your living.
...

A potter made pots,
which are there after the potter has worked.
A dancer did dance,
which is not there after the dancer has worked.
...

Fate is there; chance is there.
So are fortune and misfortune.
Time and space are their masters.
Man cannot question time and space.
...

Love drains money and energy.
Love faces trials and tribulation.
Love tests patience and tolerance.
Love leaves regrets and sorrow.
...
