We Spend Most Of Our Time Wastefully To Maintain Our Body! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

We Spend Most Of Our Time Wastefully To Maintain Our Body!



Because of the evil hunger in our stomach,
we spend most of our time wastefully to maintain
our body for a measure of rice

by worshipping others,
going and begging to many other persons,

crossing over the sea with cool and clear water
to some other country,

considering someone else as great men,
praising and chanting poems on the other richer people!

Instead of the body we obtained as a rare opportunity,
Obtained to reach the abode of Heaven,

It is ignorance that we spend our energy and time
In search of food for maintaining our body!
