Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

A cat ate a rat, not provoked though.
Was it a culprit? Was it to be done with?
Can you prevent it? This is the design.
Laws, justice and virtues can’t stand the test.
...

Each generation and each circle
Witness heroes, heroines and villains.
They are recognized by generations
Of two preceding and two following.
...

Knowing that our foot prints like others’ would die,
We leave our footprints made of many efforts
As knowing that our life would come to an end,
We lead our life with struggles against all odds.
...

Be it from a burden,
Loss, pain or a threat.
Death is escapism.
...

In the last segment of one’s life,
One may suffer a fatal disease,
Lose dear ones to be near and care
And get ones unkind and heartless.
...

When weak, I’m humble.
When strong, I humble.
When weak, I tolerate.
When strong, I retaliate.
...

When weak, I’m humble.
When strong, I humble.
When weak, I tolerate.
When strong, I retaliate.
...

Marriage is a registration,
Where a woman is reserved for a man
For an exclusive possession
With a bar to all other men.
...

Love of God; fear of God;
Love of God gives confidence.
Fear of God gives discipline.
Fear of God is the need of the hour.
...

A recovery by a surgery
Might give one a new lease of life open
For further risk demanding surgery.
A rise from a fall is open for a fall.
