The Empty Words Of Those Who Don't Stand As They Teach Do Have Strength! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Empty Words Of Those Who Don't Stand As They Teach Do Have Strength!



The empty words of those who had learnt
and said as advice to others,
but they themselves do not stand
accordingly do have certain strength!

He can think around and advice while
he advises to other person in front of him
that he should not be criticised sarcastically
putting that man who teaches to feel shameful,

‘O man, why did not you yourself stand
in the discipline you taught us to follow
as said and what you learnt
from the books of virtues?
