The People Of Poor Genetic Inheritance Shall Not Acquire Virtuous Mentality! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The People Of Poor Genetic Inheritance Shall Not Acquire Virtuous Mentality!



Like the ocean that reverberates without losing
..Its salty nature in spite of the profuse quantity
Of quality water accumulates and falls into it,

The people of poor genetic inheritance shall not
..Acquire virtuous mentality in spite of mixing
And living with intellects with higher qualities!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The people of poor genetic inheritance shall not acquire virtuous mentality! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Pazamozi naanooRu'

மிக்குப் பெருகி மிகுபுனல் பாய்ந்தாலும்
உப்பொழிதல் செல்லா ஒலிகடல்போல் - மிக்க
இனநலம் நன்குடைய வாயினும் என்றும்
மனநலம் ஆகாவாம் கீழ்.11 - பழமொழி நானூறு

the translation MAY be accurate [i do not read the Tamil language (?) ] but i don't think the comparison is exact enough for my liking. ;) i think the definition of virtuous mentality is key here. other keys are the details of mixing and living with. anyway, this poem is too serious for me today! bri :) i'd like to read an original poem, in English, by you.
