The Good and The Ugly
  • Tamil Verse in my blog

    You go to war
    and win
    by routing your enemy's armies.
    Your body is full of scars
    from the wounds
    caused by swords of the enemies,
    hence you have
    a good fame,
    but you are
    ugly to look at.
    Your enemies
    when they see you
    in the battle field
    turn their back and
    escape unhurt,
    hence they are
    good to look at
    but have a
    ugly fame.
    So you have
    a good attribute
    and they also have
    one good attribute.
    Then what is the difference between
    your enemies and
    you, Killi
    the master of swift horse
    and the one who wears an anklet
    and always victorious in war ?
    Why the world
    always honors only you?
    Tell me my lord.
