Let Us Teach Them... Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Let Us Teach Them...



Let us teach them the rhythms of life,
How simple the monogamous lifestyle is,
Touching and kissing not permitted in the public,
To the eyes of the young ones, except during distress.

Let us teach them the culture of ours,
How effective the principles in the minds,
Though we are poor, not cognitively dissent,
Not looking at our prodigal brothers as the rivals.

Let us teach them the love in the joint family,
How strong the bonds between the siblings are,
Not to fell the trees for housing of lonely hearts,
Not have to blow the balloons in the charts.

Let us teach them the way of our humbled life,
Which is not coated with war procured blood,
Let us teach them how to celebrate the stages of living,
Not mimicking and mourning to recollect the ill feelings.
