Persons With Crookedness In Mind Hide Themselves! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Persons With Crookedness In Mind Hide Themselves!



Knowing its poisonous nature,
….the cobra lives hiding,
whereas the water snake lives
….openly without fear!

Those who have crookedness
….in mind hide themselves;
whereas the persons with
…no crookedness mind will not hide!
