Venkateswaran Krishnan Sreenivasan Poems

Who said we are all born to die?
We are born to live and thrive
And to better this world, strive
By work and worship until we die
...

Call a spade a spade and win offence
Or clothe your words in honey in defense
Even gestures without words make much sense
But euphemism is sheer nonsense
...

You will reap what you sow
Evil deeds will harvest woe
In word or deed don't stoop so low
Do not pursue quid pro quo
...

Remember the sweetest events in life
And ignore the bitter ones to be safe
Life is riddled with hurdles rife
Forget these to dispel strife
...

Reminiscences 1975 to 1980
Rags to riches story

Walking up the lane leading to our home
...

I bow to thee O’ lord
For the mercies rained on me
All through these years
From my birth to this day
...

Make a wish and swiftly act
No wishful thinking; it is a tact
To hide the hideous fact
Of your sloth and ugly craft
...

As you sow, so you reap
You have no reasons to weep
Over the fruits of your deeds
Apple will not grow from poppy seeds
...
