Hilarity And Beauty Poem by Narayanan Ramakrishnan

Hilarity And Beauty



Hilarity and beauty, are they not cousins?
Both can propel you from brood and pains,
Beauty you can enjoy all alone and within,
Hilarious jokes and anecdotes are for, but, times fine.

Jokes are too many from vulgar to decent;
Sexual, casiest, on countries, on legends, they transcend,
All for us to share and double, but why not, set right a bad precedence?
But injurious ones, avoid, emphathise and condescend.

Injurious one injures the mind of the subjected,
Transposition yourself and feel the feel of the subjugated,
Beauty is one that can even divert a mind, grief afflicted,
But hilarity better goes well with revelry and an ambience, exhilarated.

(The focus of this poem is on the jokes cracked at the expense of other members of the society. Sardarji jokes, Namboothiri jokes are very common in our societal parlance and it is time that we excercised more discreetion on this. I have felt the discomfiture of persons so afflicted, when they were so exposed and my humble request to the society is to put thier own castes and deprecate themselves and enjoy and be humbler)
