Women To Predatory Men Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

With a husband, invalid, impotent,
Penniless, drunkard or dull headed,
A woman is vulnerable to the eyes
Of predatory neighbours and companions.

Being husbandless, being estranged,
Being unmarried or being coworker,
A woman is susceptible to the eyes
Of predatory colleagues and associates.

Some women yield and some compromise.
Some are tactical and some are victims.
A few are at ease with men of their choice
On falling in emotional ties with them.
