Have Any One Returned So Far? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Have Any One Returned So Far?

Rating: 4.1


The men who went to the space
have returned;

The men who went subsequently to moon
have too returned;

But, the men, any one,
who went to the nearby grave yard
have not returned so far – why?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'Have any one returned so far? ' is a translation of a nice Tamil poem by Poet Kuruvikkarambai Shanmugam.

அண்டவெளிக்குச் சென்றவனும்
திரும்பி விட்டான்
அதையடுத்துச் சந்திரனுக்குச் சென்றவனும்
திரும்பி விட்டான்
ஆனால்அடுத்துள்ள சுடுகாடிற்குச் சென்றவன்
எவனும் இதுவரை திரும்பவில்லை - ஏனோ?

- கவிஞர் குருவிக்கரம்பை சண்முகம்

Going to grave is a one way journey. People going to other places are not dead only dead will go to grave.

The grave is more further than the space and the moon. it is short but has a great meaning
