Crime Quote by Munindra (Munnan) Misra
![“1.17 THE WORLDLY WAYS The world, the din, the time, the kin, In our days are a sin, Love’s condemned and not true, A farce for sex, a laugh at You. [179] - 1 Simplicity is a crime, Frauds and liars are divine, Sex is worshiped, live not true, Cheat be cheated our mottos new. [180] - 1 Love is lost…” quote by Munindra (Munnan) Misra](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a7c/munindra-munnan-misra-19713_crime_1-17-the-worldly-ways-the-world-the-din_618737.jpg)

[180] - 1 Love is lost - so dear to You, And lovers are but a few, ‘Cause they know that live if hell, As customs are but their cell. [181] - 1 The lies, the crime, the evil ways, Are the paths of our days, We love our neighbour as love’s not true, And hate the others cause they do too. [182] - 1””
