The Kings Never Shrink In Their Charity Mind! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Kings Never Shrink In Their Charity Mind!



The fragrance of a softer small log
of sandal wood, even in the time of waning,
shall not become lesser! - Likewise,

Garland wearing kings, even during
their bad times, in spite of their wealth shrinks,
will their charity mind shrinks? No!
