The Most Unkindest Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

For Mark Antonio to cry out:
‘This is the most unkindest cut of all’,
He required the brutal wound
Of Caesar, inflicted by the noble Brutus.

For me to feel with glut,
‘This is the most unkindest act of all’,
I had your resolute refusal
To grant my wish of you wearing my gift.

Happiness or sadness you can give me.
I shall take it with gladness or fortitude.
But no injurious moments, please.
I shall then be put to mental torture.

No lady kills her bird
that loves her hard!
