The Thought Of Satisfying The Five Senses! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Thought Of Satisfying The Five Senses!



O’ man! While you have wealth, You get engulfed
…into the trap of the five senses which can’t be satisfied;

Or while you become poor either due to the twin fate
…of good and bad, you may get irreparable blame and the resultant

worst situation which you cannot predict at any cost;
…Hence, with the thought of satisfying the five senses,

you get into distress either when you get wealth
…and/or when you lose the wealth!
