Malabar Gold

Malabar Gold
 

On Bharat`s west- coast

Kerala is the host

To Malayalees everywhere

Venturing out with dare

Early links with Arabia Asia

Also with Syria Persia

A maritime state

Now a distinct trait

Proud of their rain swept land

Coconut paddy golden sands

The western- ghats sheltering

From excess of weathering

IT skills got early

Applied in clever ways daily

Always in good command

A work-force in high demand

Malayalam lends itself

Other languages to learn themselves

Multiple native skills

Anywhere fitting the bill

  

The good and bad together

Any storm can weather

The good always outshining

With a silver lining

If asked for her true essence

Respect is its true presence

For close ones and strangers

No one feels in danger

Rich in resources

Human and natural sources

The ladies a shining example

Not that easy to trample

With a stable home always

Men go for a hard workday

But now with many distractions

Some lured to such attractions

Golden Malabar at its best

If all can meet its tests

People have to better unite

To make things really bright
