Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Poems

On your way when you are idle,
Don’t spend your time in just thinking,
Which might land you in anxieties.
Instead, indulge in observation
...

Detachable ones are separated
With no damage to parts separated.
Divorces are obtained without bruises
As the couple lives as detachable.
...

It is her child, not her husband's.
She knows that he knows about it.
She proved she is not sterile.
He is shown as not impotent.
...

A mere interaction with a man
Can bring a glow to a woman's face.
A mere presence with a woman
Will bring a glow to any man's face.
...

Feeding, to escape and to mate
Are the three basic necessities
Around which man, like all lives, revolves.
His actions are traceable to any of these.
...

Imperfection is the reality.
Perfection is the artificial.
Leave the nature to address itself.
It desperately needs privacy.
...

The knowledge dispels ignorance
As the light expels the darkness.
Yet stay ignorance and darkness.
Knowledge and sunlight just chase them.
...

I help to be helped or help to requite
Or help one so that others will help me.
One feels good in reciprocal altruism,
Owing to release of certain hormones.
...

Narcissism is the self-love in excess.
Man is increasingly narcissistic.
He needs no friends but admirers.
It's that he is increasingly egoistic.
...

Suppose insect population is dead,
In twenty five years the world will die.
Suppose human population is dead,
In twenty five years the world will revive.
...
