The Property, Wealth, The Servants And Comforts Are Of No Use! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Property, Wealth, The Servants And Comforts Are Of No Use!



O' the girl who has good manners!
What benefit can the olden moral books offer
for the dumb persons who cannot speak?

What benefit can the lamp with flame offer
for the blind persons who has no vision in the eyes?

Likewise, what benefit can the property, wealth,
the servants and other comforts offer to a person
who has no love and affection to others? Nothing!
