Attraction Is Something Deeper Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Temples were built by the mighty,
Some with golden towers,
Some with golden domes,
And some with golden podiums
To lure and summon.

Amarnath is a stone of a cave,
With no ornaments, no pavements
And yet attracts braving crowds
Much against all its odds,
For its sway of power.

There are women, very common,
With no ornaments to adorn,
Whom men throng for their bounty
As against women for their beauty
