Jallikattu --- Student’s Elation!    

Inborn trait traditionally born of courage excitedly demonstrated,
Uniqueness in One Voice against the ban of ‘Jallikattu’
Across the soils of Dravidian kinfolk stirred the law of vanity,
Oceans of folks, young and old, drained of appetite; yet stable in purpose.
Silence is thy way unto the verdict of victory to pronounce unity.
Across the world the voice is the same stirring each heart to melt,
‘Alanganallur’ is thy land of courage displayed in ‘Jallikattu’,
‘Merina’ is thy soil of support voiced together ‘gainst the ban of ‘Jallikattu’.
‘Thamukkam’ is thy arena, raising voice ‘gainst ban on ‘Jallikattu’,
Sans politics, sans politicians, sans governmental gimmicks,
Thy elation stands firm, fighting exploitation against innocent folks.
Tainted with corruption the land of people shed tears of blood,
For every soul yearns for the world sans blemishes and whims.

Who hath cared for clean soil? Who careth for social welfare?
Begging for votes; smeared with currencies; shrouded with luxuries;
Drained of sycophancy goggling for novel tactics of cajolery.

Raise thy voice till thy elation soars the world of stars,
High above rootless garments of laws and ordinances,
For ‘Jallikattu’ is thy inborn trait of courage rooted for ages.

Be firm with thy voice till the flag of victory hoisted,
Prove thy strength till the hoisted flag keeps wagging,
Be rooted in thy unity till the air of human rights sends their aromas.

A Humble and Honest Verse Dedicated To Thy Students’ Elation!
