Don't Reserve The Wealth For Generations! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
Don't Reserve The Wealth For Generations!
If a person happens
to acquire wealth by RIGHTFUL means,
he should be generous to take food
- generated by ploughing his land
by oxen - with many guests and relatives!
However alert,
Wealth may not stay with one person with partiality,
It will move from person to person like a cart wheel!
Hence, don't reserve the wealth for generations,
Help and utilise for charity, feed guests and relatives!
This poem 'Don't Reserve The Wealth For Generations! ' is a translation of a poem from Tamil literature 'NAlatiyAr'
துகள்தீர் பெருஞ்செல்வம் தோன்றியக்கால் தொட்டுப்
பகடு நடந்தகூழ் பல்லாரோ டுண்க;
அகடுற யார்மாட்டும் நில்லாது செல்வம்
சகடக்கால் போல வரும்.2 செல்வம் நிலையாமை - நாலடியார்

Indeed gluttony and greed are not needed in this world. But still they are children who need not starve. We just keep cutting weeds expecting another one not to grow. We need to pull it by the root if really this to be so. Cheers, to such a great poem.
