என் மீதான
உன் பார்வை
மாறியதேயில்லை !

உடன்பாடில்லா
வேலை நிறுத்தங்களிலும்
ஈடுபட்டது
உன்னொருவனுக்காகவே !

கோபமானவனென
கேள்விப்பட்டிருக்கிறேன்;
வேகமான
மாநிலச் செயலராய் ,
விவேகமான
மாபொதுச்செயலராய்தான்
பார்த்திருக்கிறேன் ...

FNPO- வை ..

மும்முனை பாதையாக்கினார்.
நீயோ
தங்க நாற்கரச் சாலையாக்கியிருக்கிறாய் ..!

குரலுயர்த்திப்
பார்த்ததேயில்லை ;
சங்கத்திற்காக
போராடாது
பார்க்காதிருந்ததில்லை.

அடுத்த  தலைமுறை
தொழிற்சங்கவாதிகளுக்கு
நீயோர்
இலக்கணம்.

உனக்கு
பல பக்தர்களிருக்கலாம் ;
நானோ
தூரத்திலிருந்து
ரசிக்கும்
ரசிகன் !

வேகத்தின்
உச்சம்
 நீ ;
பொறுமையின்
உச்சமோ
நாச்சம்மை.

இல்லத்தில்

நாதமில்லாவிடின்
நீ
சங்க நாதம்
செய்திருக்க முடியாது.

பணியில்
காதலிப்பது  பெரிது .
காதலியை ,கரம் பிடிப்பதும்
இனியது.
மனைவியோடே
பணி ஒய்வு
