Somanathan Iyer Poems

Looking back is not bad
Trailing behind augers not well
Looking ahead is not enough
Moving forward is much more better
...

No bleeding no injury yet I am wounded
Doctors and medicines can not cure
Nursing and kneading will not help
No swelling no fracture yet I am wounded
...

Long ago, Very Long ago, God was caught in a pensive mood
After sending down Giant sized Creatures with violent Nature
Floods and Fires with hellish Fury, Man was sent to live on earth
Man was single no one to mingle, wandered jungles with no one to tingle
...

adamant was a child
in accepting the food
knowing not how to tame
mother looked at the sky
...

vanished is the appetite
yet grown are the crops
vanished is the thirst
yet flown are the rivers
...

might of money right before the sight
fight against is a waste retreat in a haste
a cobweb money is everyone gets lured
talents and knowledge kneel before for a price
...

Strange is the world! Strange is the mindset!
the sun may scorch the heat may torch
scolding both people walk unmindful
wishing in hearts entry of rains
...

Fear is not from devils!
Fear is not from beasts!
Fear is not from aliens!
Fear is not from reptiles
...

Long ago, more than decades five ago
In our village even before
radios came in vogue
surroundings reverberated
...
