A Sad Comedian Poem by Walterrean Salley

This tiny poem has broad and deep meaning. Making wealth and becoming rich has vision of many at present and they do not look after their action is right and wrong. Unrighteous practices of gaining wealth is bad and gaining wealth by righteous path is good and through this we gain virtue. Committing sin makes us cry. Such a rich person cries while there is sin. Sin follows through pain and agony. Thought provoking poem! ..Congratulations for seeing your poem as the poem of the day.
