Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

An actor romances with different actresses
And an actress romances with different actors.
That professionalism is not adopted
In the realism, thanks to stigma attached to it.
...

Two men loving a woman
And two woman loving a man
Are replaced by man and woman
Loving one more as a substitute.
...

A stock bought at a price
Was not sold at its rise,
Waiting for further rise
And sold when it fell sharp.
...

Being an adult, he had a child brain.
His innocence had no motives, no revenge.
He forgives and forgets and offers helps.
How good it’d be if we’re underdeveloped!
...

Belief is the believing something
Of which you are not sure.
Disbelief is the disbelieving
Something you are in doubt of.
...

Friendships with the same genders
Produce in them confidence.
Friendships with opposite ones
Produce in them energy.
...

Test one before you trust.
Don’t test one when you trust.
It will mar more than save
The good for you in him.
...

The king shall not have his kingdom
Honour himself with an award
That he deserves by virtue of facts.
Such award will degrade his worth.
...

Bulls and bears play fights
And make the bidders asses
In the stock markets.
...

Half of the intelligence is from parents,
The rest from the upbringing and education.
The ability to acquire skills and wits
And the power to think and reason come from parents.
...
