Winners: but not gainers

MANJALARUVIL JOSEPH CHANDY 1943 (Kottayam in Kerala,)



Winning spree, seen every where,
Wounder who sees the woe therefore,
Warning ! warning ! those of winners
Who cares the gainers, but only winners

World requires humanism, but who cares,
Widely thinking of harmony but harming only
Winning selfish and morbid thinking
Weakening, grouping men in different sects

War pact a worry to one and all
Working to win motive of their own
Work for a noble cause than
Wasting in making fanaticism a religious gain

Winners ! see what gained after all
Ways are spreading with blood of groupism
Worry not, still time is there
Work earnestly with oneness

Wealth ! a root cause of fanaticism
Wildness seen in imparting education
Widening thus the gap of oneness in men
Work one and all fore gaining, but not winning
