Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

In spite of mixing with multitudes of high quality scents,
say whether the bad smell of the garlic diminish and go? Never!

Similarly, Can there be any activity that makes the wretched
...

The controlling of the senses that offers pleasure
is said to be under control in the real sense
while the senses are controlled by the persons
in their youthful periods of desire!
...

The people who work for your command too are human beings!
They too have physical parts of the body, life and heart!

The good, bad, pleasure and agony are there
...

Like the cobra that succumbs instantly and rolls its hood
to the sacred ash thrown ovet it so as to control its anger,

The great people who were born in the family
...

The intelligent people will not abuse those virtuous people,
saying as their incapability, while those virtuous people
do not proceed to take revenge showing their enmity
on the indifferent people who exhibit themselves as enemy!
...

I was seventeen years old!
When I joined college
In a far off unknown place
I was staring, staring at every thing
...

One leg in clear water of river,
Another leg in marshy mud of sludge!

Unbalanced mind, Undecided end,
...

To be jealous about the greatness of the worthy,
The desire which overpower the five senses greedily;

The anger one gets over the other
...

In spite of the fact the arrow is straight
It is dangerous and kills the enemy in fight!

But, the fact that the Lute or Veenai is curved,
...

Any person,

Clad and garbed in the disguise of a saint,
Doing all sorts of fraudulent deeds in taint!
...
