Wealth Acquired Through Illegal Means Gets Lost! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Wealth Acquired Through Illegal Means Gets Lost!



O’ Chieftain who owns the port with a noise
resembling the reverberating sound heard
when the rich water falling on the rocks! LISTEN!

The wealth of the people who acquires it
through illegal means appears to be enlarging,
but it gets lost in no time; BEWARE!

So, will the people who perform virtuous deeds
appreciate the illegal wealth of the persons
who earned by wicked ways and means? NEVER!
