Dhanamu Leemi Yanedi Daavaanalambadi (Telugu Lyrics) - Yogi Vemana

ధనము లేమి యనెడి దావానలంబది 
తన్ను చెరచు మీరి దాపు చెరచు 
ధనము లేమి చూడ తలపనే పాపంబు 
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ

Meaning: Poverty spreads like a wildfire. It is a sin even to imagine poverty.

My Take: In this poem Vemana wants to convey the importance of eradicating poverty. If poverty captures your neighbour, then it is possible that the same circumstances that pushed them to poverty might do the same to you. From our history, we can imagine how poverty spread like a rapid fire all over India during British rule(or loot).
