The Great Teacher Poet. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Reverence to the great teacher
Titled as the father of Malayalam language
Who stands before all poets and poetry
In Malayalam Language of Kerala
My own beloved Mother tongue
Like every language that I pride myself
The great teacher wrote poetry
The epics he freely created in Malayalam
A particular way as in Birds own tongue
The epics the singing songs in devotion
The stories, moral stories to lead a life
That makes people to behave humanely
To fear the great universal power
To protect the mind from avarice and over proud
Against aggression, and punishment to guilty
The purity of conscience, devotion
Wonderful writing the poetry for common man
From little cottage to palatial homes
The creativity stands and sings with humbleness
Wonder images of character he created
The magical realism in actual terms resembles
Where trees and mountains used as weapons
Against injustice, aggression, violence
The magical characters something mystical
As making the reader to enjoy and sing
The songs in its own happenings as actual
The immortal soul the great teacher, poet
Thunchath Ezhuthachan, we fondly call him.
