Dr John Celes Poems

Sir/Madam,

Wishing you and family and all far and near,
‘A HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEAR,2015’
...

Never assume you're wise at any age;
Become a fool to gather wisdom then;
No one is wise in life at any stage;
Wisdom comes from the fear of God from heav'n.
...

The grass is greener here than everywhere!
The air is cleaner here than much elsewhere;
The soil is fertile more than anywhere;
The water tastes much better only here.
...

We love you Mom and miss you very much;
A bold and brave woman, you were all life;
A special soul amongst many mothers;
A lovely person, better than others.
...

Sonnet: Protect Human Lives First
A human life is more precious than else;
Kindness to beasts is good but has limits;
Endangered lives by rabid dog-bite tells;
...

You feel the joy that's true
Throughout your life on earth,
That's clean like morning dew,
Bestowing dawn its mirth,
...

The man who made the dynamite
For good of humankind,
Amassed a fortune enormous,
But left a noble will!
...

Trace the roots of the corruption tree
And the tap-root that feeds
The trunk that's grown mammoth in girth
And forms the branches it needs
...

Many a time, I ask myself the query,
'which is better tithe or alms? '
I'm unsure of the answer yet,
But my conscience prefers the latter.
...

One soul just shook the world
With his wisdom, honesty and love for truth,
And powered his way up the ladder of history
With his weapon called non-violence and peaceful protests.
...
