Wise And Virtuous People Are Like Golden Pot! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Wise And Virtuous People Are Like Golden Pot!



Wise and virtuous people, even if they become poor,
they are always virtuous! The people who are wicked,
if they become poor, what will otherwise happen?

Likewise, the quality golden pot happens to break,
It remains the same quality gold! But if the mud pot
happens to break, what will happen? It is of no use!
