Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Being loyal to the queen, plunder;
You are spared.
Being honest to truth, thunder;
...

We profess our intelligence
By speaking things,
Rarely without metaphor
And seldom define
...

She shed no tears
For the death of her lover
She lusted and slept with.
...

One to one, every woman
Is nice to a man.
So is man to a woman.
...

Small or big, dark or fair,
Stiff or soft, erect or bent,
Fresh or used, raw or ripe,
Visible or hidden, revealing or
...

The one wronged is wronged,
With the effects unaltered,
Though it was performed
Unknowingly, ignorantly,
...

He failed to influence police.
He failed to influence prosecution.
He failed to get the judges.
He landed in jail at last.
...

Tethered by the past, enslaved by routines,
Battered by the struggle of the living
And a victim of conditioning imposed
By the society, man is a caged beast.
...

Scholasticism is the philosophy
That existed in the medieval period.
The relation between faith and reason,
The relation between the will and intellect
...

For love to pour, the object of the love
Need not be present; even contacts do.
Love is a quality to spend.
Life is simply life longing for lOVE.
...
