Doubts Would Rust You. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The fact that I am inclined to flirt
With women with whom I am at work
Influences my subconscious mind
To be uneasy with my employed wife.

The fact that I am denied success
By any woman I have targeted
Didn't influence my subconscious
To be easy with wife's fidelity.

Truth, if bitter, be better unknown.
Doubt, true though, be better kept out.
As long as faith in loyalty rules
No quarrels would split the couple.
