Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Purging out is a relief.
Escaping is a relief.
Healing is a relief.
Relief is a pleasure
...

Listeners give you pride.
Followers give you pride.
Dependents give you pride.
...

As long as woman owns stable breasts
And wrinkleless cheeks, she can arouse men.
As long as man owns sturdy shoulders,
And hunting eyes he can claim women's eyes.
...

The hero and the heroine are no more.
The singers and the composer are too.
The lyric writer too has followed suit.
I enjoyed the song, tune, voice and scene
...

Desire spurs you.
Fear warns you.
You is ego,
Soul's agent.
...

Socrates, the Knower, didn't know
That the earth was not flat, nor stationery.
Founders of the religions didn't know
That the earth was a globe and rotating.
...

The teacher is a sign post.
He has made his students know
That the sign post is not the road.
He lives that you'd think of him.
...

India is beset with three kinds
Of asymmetric situations.
Aspiration and attainment:
Education is on the increase
...

Men are pedlars selling their love.
Women may accept or reject
Or ignore the love put forward.
Must women penalize men for it?
...

You will be impervious to the perceived
Power of the supposed god men
If you have a strong belief in your self
And conviction in thoughts and values.
...
