Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

Batsman theory [1948] is outdated.
Woman is no more investing
Her energy into mere
Child bearing and child rearing.
...

Merit suffers from vested interests.
Money and sex play a great part.
Prejudice and nepotism
Do their parts at a crucial point.
...

Hope may fail you and be in vain.
It makes light the hardship you bear
Today, and help you withstand it
For a tomorrow in waiting.
...

Trust bridges the relations.
Trust deficit wears the bridge
And mistrust tears the bridge.
Trust is built just with hopes.
...

She gave me her wallet
And complained to the police
That I had stolen it..
...

It is a shame to be a paramour.
It is a shame to be a concubine.
The titles of ‘husband' and ‘wife' weigh more.
Thus families escape from adultery.
...

God is blind to man's sufferings.
Man suffers not because of he's flaws
But because he is His plaything.
Seeds are sown; with them weeds are grown.
...

Confidence means surmounting shyness.
Shyness will block you from performance.
Fear of ridicule in case you fail
And the doubt you have in your ability
...

A car is a temptress.
She is seen for her body.
She improves on painting.
A new one is in demand.
...

I don't like those who are wealthy;
I don't like those who're aggressive.
I don't like those womanizers.
I regret I could not become them.
...
