There Is A Yawning Pit Underneath You Poem by Lalleshwari

There Is A Yawning Pit Underneath You

Rating: ★5.0


There is a yawning pit underneath you,
and you are dancing overhead.
Pray, Sir, how can you bring yourself to dance?
See, the riches you are amassing here,
nothing of them will go with you.
Pray, Sir, how can you relish your food and drink?
