The Purpose.. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

What is the use of having a home,
When we go there only to sleep?

What is the purpose of having a family,
when we meet the members once in a while?

What is the meaning for sovereignty,
when the citizens are not taken care of?

What is the name of the citizens,
who do not bother about the welfare of the nations?

What is the use of having the brain,
when we stop accumulating knowledge?

What is the greatness of having the wealth,
when we do not donate for charity?

What is the use of donating the high heels,
when the people suffer in the earth quake zone?

What is the use of teaching the religions,
when hungry people attend such sermons?
