The Heart Is Said To Be The Heart Only When It Doesn’t Have Enmity! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Heart Is Said To Be The Heart Only When It Doesn’t Have Enmity!



The tongue is said to be a tongue only when
…it speaks virtues, only virtues!

The ear is said to be an ear only when
…it isn’t listening to tell-tale about others!

The eye is said to be an eye only when
…it doesn’t anticipate the weakness of others’ wives!

The heart is said to be the heart only when
…it doesn’t have enmity and anger to anyone!
