Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

Oh! When Holy books preach that all the men
Who were born in this earth should be more
Cordial to associate with others like brethren,
...

Wise people speaking in the chamber
Where there are no equally wise people
Is equal to pouring the nectar in the waste pit!
...

There is no harm and grief, what may,
That can be done by one’s enemy
To a ruler!
...

An innocent young boy
Seventeen years old guy!
Went to the medical college
Stayed in the gents’ hostel!
...

Crime due to enmity repeats,
Increasing day to day murders,
More and more in numbers!
...

The pond to which the path of the main stream
Is not well formed and channelized to fill to the brim

An infant which is not fed on the breast of the mother
...

Whether it is possible or impossible,
...the noble persons shall think of the admirable
Deeds only, without submitting them for abuse!
...

The army which has respectful kindness with piety;
Having a strong fort which provides safety,

So that one need not get frighten whatever come may,
...

Yonder fellow cries lying on sand,
I am unable to get up and stand,
Who is going to lift me with hand!
...

Forgetting the lively persons, parents;
Forgetting what they had done to us,
Forgetting our duty to them, scorn and abuse!
...
