thanks to veluri rao garu for posting two very powerful poems from
satish chander and jayaprabha. both "pancama vEdam" and "vaaDu
dEvuDi         
rakshaNalO vuMTaaDu" are really effective pieces, written in a
simple     
language. while one portrays the society which belittles, oppresses and
harasses a section of its people based on birth, the other exposes  the
hypocrisy of those fortunate to lead a good life in going about it as if
it is the same case for all. while the former's appeal was both to the
heart as well as the intellect, attributable to "vastuvu" and symbolism,
respectively, the latter just pierced its way to the heart. it was plain
speaking,in a very effective way. i particularly felt the pinch when
reading the latter. how sad that the whole world now thinks that the 
path to success necessarily passes thru
selfishness.                                                                         

regards
prasad
