Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Siblings Poems

Brothers and sisters to remain
As brothers and sisters for long,
They must share no common interest,
And get to no joint venture.
...

When you fight with your siblings
Imagine that your children are fighting
And that your mother is watching you
it will dampen your bitterness.
...

He is my brother; she is my sister.
They have same blood as I, drawn from parents.
He is my son and she is my daughter.
They have blood of which mine is only a half.
...

Your siblings might be your rivals,
Jealous or even inimical.
Yet they are the best bet at hand
When you've fallen to be pitiable.
...
