Kannan G Poems

O Great Architect of Creative Humanism!
Your works are so beyond the width of my words,
So beyond the grasp of my mind;
Still so fine that I should find
...

His heart advocated
For the lowliest and the lost.
So he refused to confine
His conscience in his courtroom.
...

Brimming with vernal freshness,
Goaded by conscience,
He had let himself experience
The holy Himalayas
...

Gandhi, Marx, Krishna and Christ
Made impressions deep on his mind –
A blend of thoughts, inspiring all
This stunning soul could simply find!
...

A son of India
Rose from the breast of east
Traveled west
Breathed the London air
...

Never should we be
Aiming at increasing
Only growth of GDP
Of crude modernity
...

He loves to give light
To those deprived of sight.
Hence for them he opened
A school in his premises.
...

Where tigers prowled for flesh
Where scorpions sprouted
From an abandoned earth
Into such a thick forest of rocks,
...

The temple of body
Lay in ruins rocked by disease;
The innermost shrine
Lay ravaged, piece by piece.
...

A career bright to the winds he threw
And the weal of wealth which was his due!

Oh, fight miseries he felt he ought
...
