By Which He Had Grown To The Top And Became The Man? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

By Which He Had Grown To The Top And Became The Man?



The man transformed himself into a fish;
He swam across the sea - swish!
Looked up; risen above and grew so
To the stature and status of ruling the sky; - vaav!

But, still what happened to him? By which
He had grown to the top and became the MAN?
What is said to be his knowledge?
Can anyone say ‘What is knowledge? '

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'In which He had grown to the top and became the MAN? ' is a translation by me of a Tamil poem by Thiru.Esekkial of Chennai.


மீனானான் மாக்கடலை நீந்தினான் மேலெழுந்து
வானாளும் வண்ணம் வளர்ந்தானே - ஆனாலும்
ஏனானான் மனிதன் எதிலுயர்ந்தும் தான்மனிதன்
ஆனானோ? என்ன(து) அறிவு? - எசேக்கியேல்
