Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

The duty of the person with higher discipline
is to evaluate in such a way that

there is nothing mistakable from the person
...

Because of the evil hunger in our stomach,
we spend most of our time wastefully to maintain
our body for a measure of rice
...

We build the bank for the water saving reservoir
to prevent the brimming and overflowing!

But, is there any safe guarding bank
...

Searching the money and accumulating it
by working hard with strain and burying it safe,
Listen! O men who lost all health and goodness,
...

O' the girl who looks like the Deer,
The ivory tusk of the elephant,
The hair of the rarest animal Yak,
The nail of the tiger that lives in forest,
...

Hair over the head, sharp nails in the fingers,
white tooth and the respectable men

who live without changing from the rightful way
...

Said to be the ropy bond of attachment with desires,

Running behind the chariot of likes in many ways
on many things without severing it,
...

If any person exists,
As a person who had listened
what is said in books of virtues,
...

The Chera king wears the garland
..Made up of ‘bees buzzing flowers';
He has the chariot pulled by strong horses;
..Goes for stroll every evening of course!
...

The forehead without the sacred ash is a waste!
The food without the ghee is a waste! For any city
Without the river, the beauty is lost and waste!
...
