#translators - Hello Poetry

You are the reason I smile Every time I happen to fail Because, when I think about you I know all hope isn't lost yet And I can even beat the worst ever Monday blues Your never-say-die spirit is tough to beat Even when it comes to someone like Rahul Gandhi It's what makes you such an awesome poet Not to mention, a bestselling novelist A truly intersectional feminist And last but not the least One of the fiercest anti-caste activists Of course, I know you haven't even properly met me However, you have made an impact upon me Which is utterly impossible to forget Really, I have to admit You have made me think more positively And act more independently Which has done wonders for my mental health Also, have you taught me to keep up the faith Even when I have been at my nadir Therefore, is it no wonder That you are an inspiration to one and all Thanks to you, even when we fall We know how to rise again And smile through our pain You are a powerful voice of change In a country that is thoroughly resistant to change You speak what most of us are afraid to speak And inspire even the meek You call a ***** a ***** Your keyboard is the sharpest blade Finally, you awaken those who are asleep And give a red alert to those who are merely pretending to sleep You know, whenever you enter my mind I feel a quiet but fierce pride Certainly, has God been kind To present me with the opportunity Indeed, a very very special opportunity To come across such an incredible human being Without whom, am I nothing! May the Lord bless you with everything Which you deeply crave for Dear Comrade, please keep fighting and do take care Jai Bhim!! Vaazhga Periyar!!

There is no one in this world Who matters to me more than you The lone exception being Jesus Christ Were you to be put through any test No matter how rigorous or torturous I have no doubt you would emerge victorious This is not to say you would find everything easy After all, in life, is nothing ever easy However, you have faced the worst And emerged among the best So many people hate you to the core However, none of them do you fear Never, will you be silenced My heart, have you stolen And I am sure I am not alone You have as many ardent admirers As you have fierce adversaries Thanks to you, am I able to find the courage To break free from my cage Which is full of numerous anxieties and insecurities And make my way towards finally finding inner peace Nobody has made such an impact on me As you have done Thanks to you, can I smile through my pain Because, no one dares the way you do Not a lot of things, do you rue Because, you are thoroughly independent And at the same time, not hellbent On doing anything with blind faith Well, here's wishing you loads of happiness, peace and good health And as always, may you be blessed by the Lord!!

Thou art my last hope Do my best I shall, not to mope Thanks to you, and you alone Because, you have been through so much pain Yet, have you always emerged strong Very rarely, has your judgement been wrong These days, I seem to be doing nothing right But thanks to you, do I somehow manage to see the light You motivate me so much That I feel like I am on a beach Watching the waves rise and fall And being at peace, all in all Suddenly, do I begin to feel That the possibility of achieving the impossible is very real Always, have you been a fighter Pushing harder and harder Against the tallest of odds Carrying an extremely heavy load On your already weary shoulders Really, are you a warrior! Thou art my last hope Even when there is a queen-sized gap Between expectations and reality Never do you think of giving up Because, so much do you care about humanity Thanks to you, will I try my best not to give up Always, do you have the mindset That there is nothing to lose And never do you mind, being imperfect Even when there is everything to lose You are the person, who puts a smile on my face During my darkest times If I emerge successful in life Remember you I will, for sure For inspiring me during times of strife Never do you put on airs Defined are you, by your humility Totally can I relate, to your brutal honesty Truly, are you a lioness Perfectly fits you, does the Tamil hit song 'Badass' You are one of the bravest Indian women A bulwark against upper caste male ********** And in spite of the numerous activities you have been doing Your maternal instincts continue to remain very strong Really, are you an allrounder And I can totally feel your righteous anger Whenever there is even the tiniest injustice Above all, do you dream of peace And a much better world Well, are you absolute gold As far as character is concerned Therefore, you are a person whom I've always greatly admired Indeed, thou art my last hope Hence, for you will I always clap Please keep fighting and keep inspiring And may the Lord bless you with everything Which you have ever dreamed of!!

Thou art an amazing human being Your poetry is something That I could go on reading and reading And never feel bored at all Because, I love how you make the mighty fall Showing the world that they truly are Which is, nothing but a bunch of pretentious bores! Thou art an amazing human being Thanks to whom, are things always happening Always, do you hit the bull's eye When it cometh to calling out casteism and misogyny Not to mention, are you incredibly courageous What you write, has often been called "outrageous" However, in my opinion Nothing could ever come closer to the truth And never have I been prouder of any person Especially given that, nowadays, is there a dearth Of truly radical thinkers With the system, does nobody dare to tinker!! Thou art an amazing human being I find your books extremely inspiring Not to mention, is your activism of supreme importance Particularly given that, nowadays, very few dare to take a chance And challenge the existing class and caste structure A role model are you, for everyone who aspires To try and bring about a societal transformation Not to mention, repeatedly have you breached the bastion Of cis hetero male ********** Thou art an amazing human being Never do you give up on anything Compassionate are you, to the core A very caring mother Who somehow manages to devote time to her children In spite of being in the midst of so much action Not to mention, a lot of genuine respect do you have For your fans and admirers Something that we greatly love Oh, and ***** your haters!! Just be the way you are And may Jesus bless you, for now and forever!!

You make me so proud Because, always do you say it so loud A powerful crusader against injustice Often, do you stand on the edge of a precipice And scream so that the whole world can hear Year after year How ****** up is our country An utter sham of a democracy Always, do you walk the talk Haters may say you often sulk However, they cannot be more wrong Because, like a honeybee, do you sting Where it hurts them the most Really, art thou the best When it cometh to using words as a weapon Your books are an emotion And your activism gives us all hope You certainly are not one to sit down and mope Even while the world comes crashing down No matter what, do it you can Because, you are the fire that burns Even when it rains cats and dogs! You make me so proud Thanks to you, is it not so hard To believe that we can truly annihilate caste We will ensure your pathbreaking work does not go waste Thou art one of the bravest parents Because, never do you allow motherhood to dent In any way, your never-ending fight for social justice In fact, you redefine independence Doing almost everything on your own Braving storm after storm And yet managing to maintain a modicum of calm As you set forth on an absolutely brutal journey In a tearing hurry In order to reclaim your stolen freedom Truly, are you a powerful beam Of light that never fades By the rules, you do not abide Because, you are simply a force of nature A human being most mature I repeat, you make me so proud That I want to say it loud VAAZHGA DR. MEENA KANDASAMY!!
