Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

While I came out of my son’s house
in Cranston Close, adjacent to the tube station,
I come into the Bath road, Stand for a while
at the signal where people wait and cross;

If moral courage excels in an individual,
…the strength in him increases in his favor;

If better outlook excels in wives
...

In whatever aspect anyone think and consider,
…killing a living being is harmful to him and to the society!

Leaving the children to grow without
...

The family life of a person
…who refrains from immoral activities

and cherishes the guests with food is better
...

The woman who lives the whole day in agony
With anticipation that her husband shall come home,
As the thought of his excellently chaste wife goes off,
...

If a driver, so called life, - who drives the body alias cart
which is loaded with the so called goods with lots of desire -
By fixing the juncture of the joints with each other,
Connecting the muscles and tendons with bones,
...

It is an agony if a man who is born
…in a good genetic background isn’t educated!

It is an agony if the quality seeds sewn
...

The good qualities of an object one hates
May not be visible for the person who explores;

And the defects of an object one likes
...

If one gets clutched with slandering words
…that he is the person who gambles,

What all he learnt through books of knowledge,
...

The Goddess of Wealth
...who sits on the Red Lotus flower

offers the fair flow of water,
...
