Learned People Shall Desire Of Befriending Educated Only! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Learned People Shall Desire Of Befriending Educated Only!



As if the fair swan reaches
....the pond with beautiful lotus,
Learned people shall desire
....of befriending educated only!

As if the crow likes the corpse
....in the outskirts of graveyard,
the illiterate obstinate persons
....are liked by obstinate persons only!
