No use of after death rites , without proper treatment when they are alive
Translated
from Tamil poem
By
P.R.Ramachander
Without
talking and playing
Without seeing the parents
Showing off
the wealth
Without
a shame , to show off
Dipping in ganges
and the ocean
What
is the use of Relegious acts
Please
think
Please
look after your parents
Without bothering to see them
Without
giving them anything
On
the day when the death impurity goes
Why are
you celebrating in a great
manner
Leaving your
parents as orphans
Hanging without
any support
Inviting a huge
crowd of people
During their
death rites
And serving them luxurious food
What
is the need these useless
people here
While they are
greatly suffering
Due
to their old and struggling to live,
Living like
ornamental dolls somewhere
And
when they have
really gone
Coming to the pages
of Face book
And
putting their photos with garland there
And saying , I miss you my mom or my dddy
You may be happy
with what you have done,
Why
, why oh
this needless piece of acting
Forgetting
those who Right from your
birth,
Gave
away
all their comforts
Why
are you
playing this great drama
Please think at least slightly
What is the use in bathing,
In
the Triveni sangam
Without bothering to,
Give them
at least a cup of tea
After admitting
a crying old man,,
In
an old age home , to live till his death
What is the use
of your going to Gaya
And
offering umpteen pindas to the
ancestors
Humble request
, please look after,
Your
parents till they die ,
Without them
shedding any tears
