Even His Wife Does Not Need Her Husband While He Has No Wealth! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Even His Wife Does Not Need Her Husband While He Has No Wealth!



Even if he is not a learned person, all the people
around shall go and honour him if he has wealth!

Even his wife does not need and respect
her husband while he has no wealth!

The mother who had given birth of him too
does not want the son who has no wealth!
The words from his mouth will not be taken by anyone!
