Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Love seeking stalkers are harmless
Though a nuisance.
Company seeking ones are harmless
Though irksome.
...

Be minorities without fear.
Be the poor and the weak secure.
Be the end to the party dynasty.
Democracy was brought in.
...

Illusions save us pain:
It allows us pleasure.
Let it be accepted.
God is from illusion.
...

To be taken note of,
To be remembered
And to be talked about
Are the desires of Ego.
...

The earth, water, air and sunlight
Interact to form and run life.
The life will come to a dead end
When any of them is withdrawn.
...

Who will be second, third and fourth
I've no inclination to know.
Who is the next ahead of me
Is my sole concern in view.
...

Water is soft yet dissolves substances.
Water is mild yet cannot be broken.
A wall is not an obstacle to stall it.
It would overcome curving around them.
...

The bride faces her man in the first night,
Not without fears, beside her bridal flush.
She carries throughout her marital life
That fear for her husband's mood and commands.
...

A Dalit being head of the nation
Means nothing when Dalits are under attack.
A Muslim being in the cabinet
Means nothing when Muslims are under attack.
...

Men are mostly attracted to women
Who resemble their mothers or sisters,
And women too, to men resembling
Their fathers and brothers in sex appeals.
...
