25) In the Poets Meet held on 15-08-1967 under the title ‘The Patriots’, Kalaignar the World Poet puts in poetic language precise the story of how the valour laughed in the eyes of Tamils who did sing our National Anthem neat thus:-

“They lived imprisoned; they drew the oil-press in prison;
They had short life-span and got killed in rebellion,
to drive away the British who were selfish to rule our land!
They fought without any desire at heart beforehand
like a sword coming out of sheath!”

Here is evident the mix of reigning and poetic instincts when he muses thus:-

“I compose lines of my spontaneous feelings that peal
and make poetry for the unscrupulous axe-like men to feel”
and to hit more the ‘unscrupulous’ minds, he adds-
“How many lives - how much blood hot
were sacrificed daily and freedom was got!”

and, as an administrator, he thus salutes them with the garland of poetry.

26) And such ‘unscrupulous’ minds, he knows, cannot easily be mended, because, in support of devil that multiplies dunces amidst the greedy, an old owl-like egg-eyed arch-devil has newly emerged to show, in the guise and name of Show, out of Aryan Pride’s glow, a pretence, just a pretence, a pretence only, to challenge that there is on earth nobody else like the Devil that is so ‘bold’ to face any trials of severity; of course, it is true that the arch-devil can now cite Scripture for its purpose as it is used to preach deliberately, as an advocate of the Aryan devil, the Aryan way of living, but we are inclined to think on what Shakespeare has said so clearly that: “Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful”.which makes us raise a question whether the Devil that is ‘never fearful’ is really ‘so good’, whether the Devil that is ‘bold’ is really ‘so virtuous’ and whether the devil has any bit of moral courage in it, in which case, we ask, why then it applies all kinds of escapist tricks to fly off at a tangent from the Law of the Land, after committing a grim crime of illegally amassing wealth.

27) And then he compares Freedom to a ‘rose’ and makes it a symbol of sacrifice, with its thorns of risks that prick their lives in the Battle and puts rhetorical question thus:

After a rose is plucked when thorns do scratch us
amidst the grove where birds sing melodious,
is it not sweet to put it on the locks of hair of women
or on the crown of shoulders that shine?
or is it nice to place it in the mischievous hands of a monkey?”
and then he says that it is not freedom if one or two relatives and friends greedily live in higher positions in society and then defines freedom in his own way thus:-
The educated, the uneducated, the workers in fields,
the labourers, the smiths, the small scale workers in needs,
the ladies, good student gems with minds like reeds-
—if they all live happy and safe and secure,
that is freedom which is real and true and sure!”

with determination to defend with fury the freedom that we got by untold misery, but the devil mercilessly crushes the freedom of the people under the wheels of her arrogant power to such an extent that even the commons comment that the devil is worst in its inborn nature to root out the freedom of them that it hates out of prejudice.

28) In the Poets Meet under the title “Five Senses”, he declares so emphatically that a Poets Meet is-

“a fight of musical Tamil - a fight
that whets wisdom bright!

And he adds that if this fight happens everywhere in the nation, scholarship and newness will spread as a fashion and new life will come to Tamil; and therefore he encourages thus:-

“Continue to serve the tri-Tamil
till our last breath dries up in the nose chill;
Even after your breath goes,
defend Tamil by your Fame and Life-Force
and he also exhorts us:-
“Do poetize whatever you see by name;
and make it poetry of renaissance in theme!”

and, later, as he does in his life throughout, he has done his best as an administrator to establish Honour to the Tamil language as a Classical Language, but the devil discards it altogether by showing its back to the treasured Library of classical Tamil books without valuing the Field of Knowledge, just as it has ruined before, without knowing the sanctity of Chastity, the Statue of Kannagi whom the Tamil women regard as the Goddess Of Chastity, because the be-all and end-all of the devil’s existence is to spoil all the good aspects of Tamil way of living and thinking.

29) Again, under the title “The year `Pilavanka’, as he says, one day I had a dream while sleeping non-awake! And he himself explains whether dream would come while awake, by making us remember that Gandhi got our freedom by dreaming while awake and Anna who by smiles won so many who spoke ill of him as fun had dreamt of good rule while awake and got it! And we are eager to know deep what dream he had in his sleep, he humorously calls them ‘fair damsels’ and names them as-

“‘Sweet Speech’ was one’s name;
‘Humility’ was another’s name;
‘Tolerance’- so said a flowery dame;
‘Angerlessness’- so laughed yet another;
‘Non-violence is my name’ – so said the other;
‘Mercy was my name’– so saying with mirth”

And these terms-Sweet Speech, Humility, Tolerance, Angerlessness, Non-violence and Mercy have much in practice of Dravidian way of living in much the same way as Kalaignar has adopted them in his administration, but they cannot be found in the dictionary of Aryan devil, for the devil’s intention is not even to listen to a single syllable of these terms but it makes a big Show, by conducting, amidst the storm in the Land of which it cared little, a Pandemonium of personal vengeance against a particular set of people who have so far been of loyal and personal and private help to it, that it is the embodiment of these terms by making its blind followers extol it to the skies by trumpeting their empty words and voices, at which act Kalaignar the World Poet cannot but pity the ignorance of such ‘blind followers’ who have knowingly fallen into the pits of devilish hell by projecting their salivating tongues of greed.

30) And it is no wonder that Kalaignar the World Poet brings Heaven to earth by his simple, practicable, reasoned theory that-

“Here’s Heaven in helping the poor that get wages”
which contrasts with the Aryan dictum that-
“There’s Heaven in letters on pages”

by its illusion that is as false as rivers of milk and honey in the black and white; and more than it, he advocates a simple way to find ‘sweet’ Heaven provided we are ‘simple in moving with others’; above all, he muses-

“Here’s Heaven in sweet speech that is soft like feathers”

and here lies the secret of “ living even after death” which is really the ‘eternal heaven’ that a human gathers; and so, he addresses the humans to make love with valour mixed,
because love without valour leads to dejection and to a life without determination; and valour without love leads to harshness and to a life without ripeness; and hence he passes his decree thus :–

“Love and valour are here the twins born together”

Therefore, since love and valour have no necessity for family planning rigidity, he pleads that the Dravidian youth should-

Beget them in plenty”

in contrast to the arrogant Aryan life that begets hatred only and sees nothing else other than it in the dark of its mind.

31) Again, in the Poets Meet under the title “The Six in Thirukkural”, he says that, as an administrator, he is busy with his works without rest at all, more busy than a top which, after turning and turning, lies down tired, but he rolls and rolls from village to village like a ball kicked; he adds that, though his body goes down, the life force in him is never tired; and so, he asks:-

“How can tiredness come up in me,
when Tamil is there to give Light to my heart of duty?”

and he points out, from Tirukkural, the six with fairness – the soldier who has manliness,the woman who has loveliness, the friend who has much friendliness, the rogue who hurts us with malice, the ascetic who moves freely with us, and the farmer who grows food grains for us; and he feels proud-

“Thirukkural was written to rule over this Earth
but I have used it to rule over my world of poetry!”
and classifies the degrees of pride thus:-
“The pride of a woman is in her self-defence best;
The pride of a soldier is in his wounds of bravery on chest;
The pride of a friend is in his sense of gratitude deep;
The pride of an ascetic is in his tomb to keep;
And all the pride of a rogue lies in breaking the pot!”

And he boasts that it is his pride is to be amidst the audience in the spot of Poets Meet and he wishes that it is enough if his pride of such kind continues its lot, in contrast to the devil’s pride that is destructive in nature; that is why he joins Shakespeare to make the Tamil Race alert more than before, thus:- ”What man, defy the devil; Consider, he’s an enemy to mankind.” , and he as the World Poet ever keeps his balance while moving the wheels of life.
