Ways To One’s Utmost Grief And Agony! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Ways To One’s Utmost Grief And Agony!

Rating: 5.0


To get into the water with deep river bed
Unused and untried water force ahead,

To embrace the shoulders of the harlot
Who is not desirous and against her consent,

To go to a neighboring city or place
As unwanted guest with the disgust of a relative,

Are the three activities of a person’s way,
Leading him to utmost grief and agony!
