What Is Poison? Poem by Nabakishore Dash
What Is Poison?
Some one asked Chanakya
to illustrate poison.
' Getting any thing more
than what is required' is
the definition.
Be it power, property, greed,
lust, love and hate.
We must remain content
with little we have.
Man does not understand
the truth in the explanation.
Most of us run-after
such self immolation.
A meaningful and powerful poem of great insight. Greed is one of the factors that could lead to war.
