[A poem by Dr. T. Radhakrishnamacharyulu titled ‘The Beauty of Smiths’.]
Unlike commercial glittery
The professional arts are lively
And the beauty of smiths is eternal
The Smith of words writes by woods
Emboss the phrases and verses beautifully elegantly
The books of thoughts are slated for ever
The Goldsmith dwells on artistic ornamental work
That adorne and glitted the natural beauty of women is well elevated
The woodsmith lives on
To design and prepare farm tools
Like ploughs to plough the fields,
doors to houses, cots to sleep
The blacksmith is another farmarmate
Whose profession is to provide crow bars,
spades, sickels, chains help the people
These smiths work, on anvil, to stretch
long plates wires out of gold and iron metals
The brass Smith is yet another craftsman
engaged in designing and costing utensils
Of metals like brass and aluminum alloys to villagers.
The Sculptor is an Engraver The Smith of stone and
wood works on toys and idols on metal sheets and wood pieces
print or paint papers and cloth
The professional arts are beautiful
In the hands of Smiths
Who sweat for livelihood
Pray one and all
Better encourage the arts and Smiths to live well
Lest, the starving peers in their lives
