Lame Man Using The Helping Stick Is Trying To Play With The Wild Elephant! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Lame Man Using The Helping Stick Is Trying To Play With The Wild Elephant!



Rising aggressively with rough behavior and unwise words
Towards the learned people by the uneducated persons,

So to say what it means, it is equivalent to a lame man
who could not walk himself freely with his own legs,

but for using the helping stick to hold for support to walk,
is putting effort and trying to play with the wild elephant!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'Lame man using the helping stick is trying to play with the wild elephant! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Pazhamozhi naanooRu'

இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா

கற்(று) ஆற்று வாரைக் கறுப்பித்துக் கல்லாதார்
சொற்தாற்றுக் கொண்டு சுனைத்தெழுதல் - எற்றெனின்
தானும் நடவான் முடவன் பிடிப்(பு) ஊணி
யானையோ(டு) ஆடல் உறவு.192 - பழமொழி நானூறு
