The Pig Will Never Become The Fighting Elephant In The Battlefield! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Pig Will Never Become The Fighting Elephant In The Battlefield!



Even while they have enormous wealth, the persons
of low inheritance will not do the virtuous activities
that are done by the people of ancestral superiority
even during their period of wealth exhausted badly!

O' the girl who has bright and luminous eyes!
In spite of tightly fixing the diamond ferrule (Cap)
to the pig's horn, the pig will never become
the fighting elephant in the battlefield!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The pig will never become the fighting elephant in the battlefield! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naalatiyaar'

இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா

ஏட்டைப் பருவத்தும் இற்பிறந்தார் செய்வன
மோட்டிடத்துஞ் செய்யார் முழுமக்கள்; - கோட்டை
வயிரஞ் செறிப்பினும் வாட்கண்ணாய்; பன்றி
செயிர்வேழ மாகுத லின்று.358 கயமை, நாலடியார்
