Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

I am running out of the track.
I do as others do, to stand afloat.
Campaigns against corruption
Can admit the copying corrupts.

Electric bulbs have helped
To the global warming.

To the air pollution

Will not promote or demote
Its efficacy in any manner.
Faith in capacity of a person

The camera makes me smile;
The flash lights make me blush.
The mirror makes me flutter.
...

A poet is not understood
The way he wanted to,
From poems he coined,
By those who have read them.
...

If she loves you too much.
By loving you she keeps
You from loving any woman.

He was the cause for the success.
However, he didn’t profess it.
He denied it when others said so.
He established that he’s the cause.
...

A wife adopts her husband’s name;
Also adopts her husband’s home.
To compensate it, she values parents.
A penny from them is a pound;
...

A child at birth comes out as alive.
It is out of the embryo, alive.
The embryo is from the zygote, alive
The zygote is the fusion of gametes alive.
