An octogenarian who still wields
the “Weapon of wisdom” is making
great strides emphatically
My brothers and sisters
let’s make our energetic greetings
reach high octane enthusiastically
A valedictorian at a tender age
delivered the maiden public speech eloquently
My respectful friends
let’s learn the life of him reading out his
‘Lovable Life’ vibrantly
An ardent follower, an assured confidant became
an astute commander of Thanthai Periyar evidently
Dear comrades let’s make ourselves oath
to take forward his self respect movement goals diligently
A prominent leader, a peerless persona etched an indelible title
“Thamizhar Thalaivar” in the hearts of Tamils enduringly
Fellow readers
let’s trail the path of him in living life purposefully; persevere for sure purposely
Arm yourself my dear folks!
Our battle to clinch the victory over hatred Hindutva forces is still relevant promisingly
‘Storm the front’ soldiers!
The leader who has been devastating
the brahminical hegemony for decades leading us intermittently
Get together humanitarians!
let us hail the “History” that marks its birthday to remain hale and hearty
Let us act shoulder to shoulder on firming his footprint
to uproot the obnoxious disparities entwined in our society
A.S. Kirubakara Raj
