Farewell To Duty-Minded Sincere People! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

They don’t take rest while work;
...shall not shirk to help;
Console that they are not bad people! 1

They don’t hurt by heart; they don’t
...let you down while believing!
Console that they don’t reduce by mind! 2

They don’t charge with anger;
...don’t act; don’t lean
one sided; certified as gentlemen! 3

They don’t surrender and sing
...to the tunes to haughtiness;
They are the light for life! 4

They don’t run in search of wealth;
...don’t accept to truckle;
It is said about him! 5

They don’t show due to power;
...they do only good deeds;
They don’t go for wealth! 6

They don’t abuse in your absence;
...and don’t encourage others too; They don’t
throw fire on others whom they don’t like! 7

Even if they take care, they don’t ask
...for bribe; See they don’t know to look
for other women! 8

They have no longing to see
...and no itching in hand to get something;
It is the pride renewed by the land! 9

Even if not sending him off is fair,
...we feel sorry to send him;
He is no more with us hereafter! 10
