If Defamation Happens To Noble Persons..! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

If Defamation Happens To Noble Persons..!



Noble persons; and the moon
...that spreads the luminous light

In the beautiful horizon of the broad sky
...are mostly equal, you see!

But, the moon may be tainted and defective partly!
...The noble persons by character and gene shall not

Yield to any deeds which may taint their nobility!
...If defamation happens, they will die due to abashment!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'If defamation happens to noble persons..! ' is a translation of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naalatiyaar'

அங்கண் விசும்பின் அகனிலாப் பாரிக்குந்
திங்களுஞ் சான்றோரும் ஒப்பர்மன் - திங்கள்
மறுவாற்றும், சான்றோரஃ தாற்றார் தெருமந்து
தேய்வர் ஒருமா சுறின்.151 மேன்மக்கள்

It is said in Tamil literature about nobility. Is it true now also?
The so called noble persons face the inquiry commission!

But escape after a long trial; may get a minimum punishment.
They never feel abashed or ashamed!

I hope there are noble people in the villages!
Only greedy people in the town, one tries to swallow the other!
