Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

A whore for her flesh,
A heroine for her figure,
A beloved for her love
And the wife, for her trust
...

To win over a girl is just hunting.
You whip her passion.
Work is done. No sin.
...

There may be at least one
Who will stand by you.
There may be at least one
Who would miss you from death.
...

Earth moves; moon revolves; sun burns.
Season changes; animate
and inanimate all change.
You are not what you had been
...

Be total if you want to jump a well.
Be total if you want to believe God
How well and how deep you pursue,
And not who is in focus, brings you solace.
...

Viviette, Lady Constantine, tender
Even at her thirty, was a splendour.
Her husband had no time to engage her
As with other women he was merrier.
...

Consistently does sun burn.
Incessantly does moon turn.
Without rest the earth is on move.
Every planet thus revolves.
...

A man of virtue practises virtue
Against the myriads of odds, so true,
And wove around him a crust of virtue
But his core remained as same underneath.
...

The system should change,
The society should change.
Attitude and value should change.
It is the wish of a revolutionary,
...

So much wealth you earned.
Others are only jealous.
So much power you mustered.
Others have only grudge.
...
