Crow Encircling Around The Pestle! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Crow Encircling Around The Pestle!



If you look into and see certain people
..who like to have more wealth to live in this world,
in spite of they reach to a King among the most riches
..and virtuous men, these people with the wandering legs
will never stay in one place.

They are considered as equal to a crow which goes
..on encircling around the pestle kept to pound the rice!
It neither sits on the pounder nor eats the rice!
..The people who have poor intelligence never stick
on to any particular job and don't get any benefits!
