Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar Branches Poems

Dear Lady!
Love branches three ways.
Love for one’s mate springs
From the feeling of security.
...

If you cut the laterals, the tree grows taller.
Many leaders do not allow laterals to grow.
But there is the danger of the tree turning to a stump.
Yet the leaders refuse to learn from the legacy.
...

A remote twig communicates with the trunk.
Adjoining branches have no talks between them.
The relation with the siblings is short lived,.
But with the progeny, is long standing.
...

Spouses of sisters are at ease
In each other’s house.
Brothers aren’t at that ease
...
