Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

He hastens to the Hell,
When he vanquished challenges
Of his subjects one by one,
With none left to mourn for his fall.
...

The God has no ears to your praise
But has ears to your repentance.
Why do you offer, to Him surrender.
You feel cleansed of filth and dirt.
...

I have taken photographs of me
Stage by stage, age by age
For the interest of my progeny.
Disillusioned, I threw them out.
...

I have committed a sin
When I had ignored my parents.
To avenge that awful sin
I must die ignored by my children.
...

A sense of logic is always there
In every decision taken.
An edge of the might put its weight
On the decision that has been made.
...

The scar and the stain sustained
From the failure of love affairs
After the physical intimacy
Won't go away from the pair's memories.
...

The brain deposits from seeing and hearing.
The brain delivers from writing and speaking.
Watching phenomena are make deposits.
Working phenomena make deliveries.
...

Positive thinking has its negative side.
It breeds in-activeness and acceptance.
Accepting the negative for what it's
Can find action for the alternative.
...

A child bathed a doll, clothed it and fed it.
It put the doll in a cradle and rocked it.
The child lulled it to sleep like a mother.
It was benefited and the doll unmoved.
...

Man and woman are not equal
When they are made husband and wife.
Woman seeks man better placed;
Man seeks woman better looking.
...
