Laity Vs Nobility Poem by chandra thiagarajan
Laity Vs Nobility
Ordinary people—the Laity
Mediocre persons—the commonality
Eat and walk
Sleep and talk
Perform small acts
In the same tracts
Without constraint
Making several mistakes
With little knowledge found.
Exalted people—the Nobility
Persons with calibre—of dignity
Also eat and walk
Sleep and talk
But perform great acts
With wisdom and tact
With self – restraint
Executing work sans mistakes
With ample knowledge sound.
Those who have wisdom and tact and self restraint are sure to succeed in life and they stand head and shoulders above people who have little knowledge and simply eat and sleep through life! Enjoyed the rhythm and the content of the poem! !
there are many lessons to be learned, and we learn by doing. good write
