The Esteemed Persons With Knowledge And Discipline! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Esteemed Persons With Knowledge And Discipline!



Will not the large ocean flow to the adjacent salt pan?
Likewise, the esteemed persons with knowledge and discipline
Will go to alleviate the grief of those persons
- In spite of their inferior status - who came as a refuge,
who do not respect them even after seeing them and their leadership!

There are lots of respectable people with highest quality;
They are willing to help anybody with low caliber!
Such low mentality people might behave badly
Even after seeing the respectable people's quality!
Still the respectable people will extend their hands to help others!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The esteemed persons with knowledge and discipline! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'NanneRi'

இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா

தம்மையுந் தங்கள் தலைமையையும் பார்த்துயர்ந்தோர்
தம்மை மதியார் தமையடைந்தோர் - தம்மின்
இழியினுஞ் செல்வர் இடர்தீர்ப்பர் அல்கு
கழியினுஞ்செல் லாதோ கடல்.16 - நன்னெறி
