Praising Words From Enemies..! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Praising Words From Enemies..!



Courtesy worship by aiming with bow and arrow
Is only concerned to harm you, with a short time, narrow!

Likewise,

Don’t accept the exuberantly praising words
And not to allow worshiping you by enemies!

Hence,

Identify the enemies who speak nicely
And do harm when chance arises!

Identify the friends who is friendly
And advises you duly, when necessary!

Hello Mrs.Geetha, Thanks for your comment. Your comment itself is like a poem! It is very difficult to find who is our enemy and who is our friend.... Some times we are forced to keep friends away due to misunderstandings we are forced to keep enemies knowingly or unknowingly some times! Life is complicated...!
