Noble Men Do What Best They Can! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Noble Men Do What Best They Can!



Noble men,
…..even if they suffer from poverty
And become very thin
…..with prominent veins,
They wouldn't go beyond their limits
…..to wrongful deeds!

As if tying the lath of palm tree
…..with leaf fibers of raffia,
Noble men tying their
.....knowledge with strong mind
Do what best they can;
…..with the little resources they have!
