Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

If you relax and lie aside in a corner of your house,
..The deeds you do and the achievements that follow
Shall also go to slumber! Hence, leave aside
..The rest and inactivity, Get up!
...

In spite of the fact if a person does not own
..Even a little place for placing his bed to sleep,

If he is well dressed, nobody will consider him as poor
...

Like the ocean that reverberates without losing
..Its salty nature in spite of the profuse quantity
Of quality water accumulates and falls into it,
...

It is foolishness to be in glee that the lightning
..like youth will remain for ever and considering
that I will do the virtuous deeds in old age!
...

Don't go in the wicked ways and means in life
..so that the people who are at your safe custody
to grumble and lament with extreme agony!
...

O' chieftain who has the country of the ocean with curved
..Shores over which the waves thrown by the strong wind!

It is very difficult to take into confidence
...

The body of a senior citizen from whom the life is left,
who lived in one of that apartment flats is kept
in the freezer box and placed in the stilt car parking
for the final respects to be offered;
...

A person who isn't exulting and who doesn't drink toddy,
..who is not seeing and being with people who drink toddy,

not hiding the food stuffs to the guests who visit him,
...

O' severely injured Grandpa who slipped down
From the bed is in the emergency treatment section
Of the hospital..!
...

In a country like ours, India,
..Lots and lots of vehicles of all varieties
Light and heavy vehicles, two wheelers
..And four wheelers registered everyday!
...
