Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Loss of love is the cause of poems,
Where loving souls cry out in their pain.
Their women aren’t aware their pain.
I made her know I penned about her.
...

Woman has got a kind heart
Yes, she must raise her child.
Woman has got a devil heart.
...

Learn literature;
It'll heighten your consciousness.
Learn many classics;
It'll refine your consciousness.
...

In my finger I see myself
And in me I see my finger.
There is no hurt feeling with it.
Similarly in my child, I do.
...

Nostalgia is a soothing agent.
It stimulates the status in you, enjoyed
In the past, and gives you mental comforts.
You relive the past and beam in such acts.
...

Someone falling critically ill,
Calls will pour in from all along
More to confirm the anxious end
Than to show concern for the cure.
...

Does man consider himself superior
To other animals and kill them for food?
'Everything that lives and moves will be
Food for you.' The Bible states and supports
...

My parents had been biased towards me
Despite my contributions to the family.
I was sore; they now gone, I recall them
With gratitude for all I got off them.
...

The barber is impatient
With his customers in queue.
The doctor is impatient
With his clients in queue.
...

Writing poetry avoiding criticism
Or writing poetry for an applause
Would deprive the poetry of its essence.
Better, such poetry is not written.
