Nothing But Charity! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Nothing But Charity!



Alms! Offer! Donate!
Before someone, poor and needy,
Appears before you to tell his poverty,
If you offer him without asking for identity,
‘Here, you take this’ honestly
It is nothing but charity!

Instead,
If you happen to offer,
Praising your wealth after -
O’ King, O’ My Lord, O’ My God,
It is nothing but for
Your cheap popularity!
