The People Around You Shall Become Your Relatives! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The People Around You Shall Become Your Relatives!

Rating: 5.0


When the fruits in the tree are ripe, there is no one near the tree
calling the bat submissively ‘to come' with loud voice!

As the cow with its calf secretes and offers the milk,
if the people offers help without reserving deceitfully,

The people around you shall come and become
your relatives automatically like the bats.
