Thousands Of People Assemble To Serve A Wealthy Person! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Thousands Of People Assemble To Serve A Wealthy Person!



As if lots of crows surround the body of a person
when he is dead due to loss of health and stamina,
Thousands of people assemble to serve a person
when he acquires a huge wealth in his possession!

But instead, in such instances when any person
is wandering with poverty everywhere for food like a bee,
There is no one in this world to inquire his welfare
pleasingly 'Are you alright? Hope you have no problem! '

உண்டாய போழ்தின் உடைந்துழிக் காகம்போல்
தொண்டா யிரவர் தொகுபவே; - வண்டாய்த்
