Here's a nice poem. Take a little time off from all the controversies and fightings to
enjoy lovely things like poems also !
Beat the drums of Victory, my friend !
Beat it !
We beat to death a ghost called fear,
We tore the snake of falsehoold into pieces.
We handed ourselves to the Vedic life,
which sees the Immortal in the
whole of universe !
We bathed with the lustre of the shining sun,
We relished the sweet-nector of his blessed light!
We made Him tremble at our sight, The Death,
who comes in hiding to steal the lives !
Crows and sparrows are of our caste,
Oceans and mountains are of our crowd.
On all sides we look around
it's only us and nothing else ...
Look, look and dance in joy !
- Subramanya Bharathi, translated from Tamil by Sankara Narayanan
