Not To Live While The Pride Is Lost! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Not To Live While The Pride Is Lost!



It is better not to live
…while the pride is lost,

It is better to live with self control
…without losing charity!

It is better for all the men
…to live with excessive wealth
without any untoward mishap!
