There Are No Relatives For The People Who Have No Wealth! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
There Are No Relatives For The People Who Have No Wealth!
O' the chieftain who has the forest where the tiny birds
like parrot preying in the fields were chid by throwing the pebbles!
Unless the flowers ‘Gloriosa superb' were blooming
at the top of the high raised rocky mountain,
the red dotted swarming bees will never go there!
Likewise, there are no relatives for the people
who have no wealth! The relatives never approach the poor!
This poem 'There are no relatives for the people who have no wealth! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naalatiyaar'
இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா
கல்லோங் குயர்வரைமேற் காந்தள் மலராக்கால்
செல்லாவாம் செம்பொறி வண்டினம்; - கொல்லைக்
கலாஅற் கிளிகடியுங் கானக நாட!
இலாஅஅர்க் கில்லை தமர்.283 நாலடியார்
