Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Woman forgives handsome men readily.
Man bears with pretty women readily.
The latent sexual pulls serves as the cause,
And form a merit to climb the ladder.

Has no say in her wish or marital sex.

Man expects the same from earning women,

With no stable friends or enemies.

Is not a deficiency that needs drugs.

As it’s, no Viagra can help it out.
...

Your shadow represents you,
Follows you and takes your shape
But fail to animate itself without you.
Your post-death image is mere a shadow.

Music and dance are an entertainment.
Arts and festivals are an entertainment.
So are discourses and ceremonies.
Religion is inclusive of all these things.
