On the cremation grounds
The body of a dead man was turned into ashes
Except his skull, his hips and knee joints.
The large eye cavities
Stare at the mourners standing by and say -
You too one day will end up like this
Be virtuous and live a loving life.
Hi Ravi Kopra, Good after noon! You made a wonderful poem simplified nicely what it was said nearly 400 - 500 years ago! Thank you. Yours sincerely, V.K.Kanniappan
Dr. Kanniappan sahib, I enjoyed rendering your poem. You are a learned man with your medical knowledge. I tried to translate your other poems wherein your bring human anatomy to physical beauty and but could not understand fully what you were trying to say and stopped short lest I made too many changes to distort your thoughts. Keep writing. Maybe I will understand better later and simplify them putting a new garb on them. Regards.
