Certain Tips. Poem by Ravi Panamanna
Certain Tips.
Date of composition 19th August 1993.
To a paining heart
Do not talk Greek and Latin,
It won’t listen.
To the young ladies
Do not talk Einstein’s Relativity,
They will turn their faces!
To a layman
Do not talk high sounding words,
He will blink.
Before others
Do not present your problems,
They have no time to solve.
The world
Doesn’t meet individual requirements,
It is a bitter truth.
To show off oneself
Do not talk in a foreign language,
Others may equally return.
I detect more than a hint of angst in this insightful poem about appropriate behavior and a lack of compassion in an individualistic world. My mother used the expression 'cut your coat according to your cloth' which might equally apply. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
