Dr.V.K. Kanniappan Poems

O' the country man who lives in the lands of the forest!
Even when a closely associated person is doing harm to you,
But for worrying and consoling yourself that it was due to the fate,
...

O' the country man who has the high mountain
from where the waterfalls that flow with shrilling noise!

Is it not due to the fact that everyone requesting
...

Don't tell your poverty to be known to the person
Who is not esteem even while you are emaciated with
Extreme hunger and shrinkage of blood and body fluids!
...

Either the disgrace comes ahead on you
As equivalent to that as you experienced pleasure
Earlier or you get the pleasure continuously
Thereafter without disruption and interruption,
...

Even if someone happens to get spoiled,
Let him not think of spoiling the esteemed people
To get rid of his misfortune!
...

Since the fear is too big and more,
The resultant pleasure for that is too little,

While you think of it everyday in your mind
...

If a liar speaks a truth forgetting his nature,
It is only by mistake and false!
It is nothing lively at any time;
It is not going to be sure for ever!
...

For all the people who live in this world
Surrounded by the roaring extensive ocean,

It is said that for the people who are desirous
...

Virtue, glory, acquaintance with the esteemed people
and majesty are the four things that will not come nearer
to the persons who are desirous of other's wife!
...
