TFM boasts of several contemporary poets like Bharadhidhasan, Pattukkottai Kalyanasundaram, Kannadhasan and Vali (Version I) who penned several songs dealing with social issues such as work ethic (uzhaippu), labor rights, women's position in society, religion, caste, patriotism/ nationalism, money/power/greed and the such. In addition, non-film kavidhaigaL from Bharadhi and Bharadhidhasan have been included in TFM to heighten social awareness.
Let's go ahead and discuss some of these songs--old and new--which address some key social issues even as they were entertaining the masses in the context of the movie situation. Please elaborate on the lyrics and your thoughts on the same as your time would allow.

Kanchana:

Yes; kalangaathiru manamE is from Kanniyin Kadhali
and is indeed his first song. In 1948 a young fellow by name
Muththaiah went to Kovai Central Studio asking for a chance
to write stories for movies. Since there were many story writers
there, Director Ramnath asked Muththaiah whether he was
interested in writing songs. Muththaiah immediately agreed
and Kannadhasan was born right at that instant. aaN
vEdam koNda peN innOru peNNukku aaRudhal kooRum kattaththukku
paadal ondru vENdum endru Ramnath kEtka, Kannadhasan koduththa
paadaldhaan kalangaathiru manamE. The director and
the MD (SM Subbaiah Naidu) were very impressed. Kannadhasan
was immediately hired for a salary of 100 Rupees per song (a
great amount in those days)!

Shyam:

Following is a poem penned by Vaali soon after Kannadhasan
passed away.

One more song from Arasilankumari

Alum valaranum arivum valaranum athuthanda valarchi

Veppa mara uchiyil ninnu pei onnu aduthunnu vilaiyada pogumm pothu solli vaippangan un veerathai kolunthileye killi vaipaanga...Velaiyatra veenargalin moolai atra varthagalai vedikkaiyaga kuda nambi vidathe...Nee veetukkule marainthu kidanthu vembi vidathe...

Thoongathe thambi thoongathe nee somber enra peyar vangathe...

Sathiya Keerthi, I just happened to read your Vali excerpt from his Kannadhasan eulogy. My deepest heartfelt thanks for bringing it to my awareness. Vali went up a notch in my esteem.
In keeping with the recent May 1st, here is a Vairamuthu song back when he was truly inspired and inspiring:

manitha manitha
ini un vizhigal sivanthal ulagam vidiyum
vizhiyil vazhiyum uthiram muzhuthum
ini un saritham ezhuthum
asaiyum kodigal uyarum uyarum nilavin muthugai urasum . . .

I wish I could remember the whole song, it used to pump me up.
