To Keep The Wealth With A Person Of Poor Genetic Inheritance! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

To Keep The Wealth With A Person Of Poor Genetic Inheritance!



O' nice girl who has the forehands adorned with bangles!
..O' chieftain who has the maritime cool lands
With extreme pleasant fragrance;
..and the country with sea of extensive waves!

To keep the enormous hard earned wealth in hands
..Of a person born of poor genetic inheritance
For safe custody is equal to the nutritious grass
..Fed to the elderly old ox!

Wealth kept with the person born of poor genetic inheritance
..Will not be useful in any way to any charity purpose!
Similarly whatever fresh grass is fed to the elderly old ox,
..The ox is of no use and can't be used to agricultural purpose!
