On Beauty Poem by Ravi Panamanna

If the world is purely homogenous
Where is for beauty any chance?
When everything falls in the same zone
What more is life than a monotone?

The world, fortunately, is heterogeneous,
At all angles, we find a degree of difference.
Differences are compared, values computed,
Out of comparisons, beauty is born in our thoughts.

Thus, my wife appears less beautiful
She, in my eyes, is even dreadful!
Why? I note a difference, I begin to compare
I find the rest of ladies simply allure!

Discrimination leads us to the concept,
Beauty carries this psychological precept.
A process of elimination is often running aside,
Our preferences finally decide.
