How A Knowledgeable Person Should Behave With The Ruler? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

How A Knowledgeable Person Should Behave With The Ruler?



A knowledgeable person will not get wild
…while the ruler does something!

He will not protest with the ruler!
…He will not stand face to face with the ruler!

He will not speak about his difficulties to the ruler
…while the ruler is in privacy!

He will not tell the ruler
…that ‘I know what is good'!

He will not say ‘No' making the ruler to rage
…even while the ruler says the crow is white!
