Noble Persons Shall Not Curse! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Noble Persons Shall Not Curse!



Sugarcane! Either you bite with teeth,
…Or squeeze the cane and its nodes in the factory;

Or pound it, the resultant juice
…is always very sweet!

Even if you accuse and abuse to hurt
…their feelings and pride beyond the limit;

Noble persons shall not curse by words
…through their mouth by lowering their nobility!

Sugarcane always provides sweet juice,
…Noble persons speak only virtuous words!

கடித்துக் கரும்பினைக் கண்தகர நூறி
