The Tall Palmyra Tree Will Not Yield Shadow For Taking Rest! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Tall Palmyra Tree Will Not Yield Shadow For Taking Rest!



Even though the seed from the dense sweet fruit
of the Palmyra tree grows flourishing sky high,

It will not yield shadow for taking rest
even for a single person in the hot sun!

Hence It is said that the people of great stature
May not be generous and may not offer great help to the poor!
