The Men Who Ask For Alms Is Least Respected! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Men Who Ask For Alms Is Least Respected!



So to say, the white cotton is considered
Very mean than the smallest particle, the straw!

The person who asks for alms is considered
Very much mean than the cotton!

If you think, "Will not the wind take him away? "
the wind too will get scared to approach him
by knowing that he might ask for alms!

It is a fact that the men who ask for alms
Is least respected than the particle, the straw!
