Somanathan Iyer Poems

Droughts in succession
can not stop sprouting
of grass after a rainfall
Repeated failures
...

Strange is the human life
Estranged is every relation
Projected are love and affection
Ejected are venom and vendetta
...

Negligence towards me what for my God?
Nothing I could do may be the stance you have!
Ignorance towards me what for my God?
Ignorant I am may be the cause you show!
...

Fixed is nothing in this universe
Dangles everything without any base
The sun, the moon, the planets and the stars
Float all in the vacuum that is enormous
...

Despite bearing mighty mountains
Lakes and hills, forests and rivers
Vast volumes of oceans and seas
Trillions of tons of rocks and soil
...

Let waves of wisdom vibrate the brains
Let bonds of brotherhood bloom in the hearts
Let healthy thoughts tickle the minds
Let grief and miseries vanish with efforts
...

Alighted a bird along with the cage
Bird could never be seen, cage only mattered
Given a name not to the bird but to the cage
Attributed all the credits and flaws only to the cage
...

An unsolved problem
An unattended request
An unexplained query
An unexposed scandal
...

Keep the mind without strains
Keep the heart without stains
Easy to say things like above
Strain a lot to conceal the stains
...

One is the God-the only One
Two are the races- men and women
Three are the worlds-Hell, Earth and Heaven
Four are the desires of life
...
