Pulchritude

They talk of beauty in absolute terms

Then subjugate it

To paltry subjectiveness

Till it reaches insulting objectification

I wonder

What become of appreciation

Isn’t gratitude

Its own gratification

Isn’t there a little beauty

In every creation?

Let’s, for once,

Behold it again and

Make that humankind’s salvation?

    1. Thank you, Megha. It’s very true that we, as a society, need a complete overhauling of a lot of deeply ingrained concepts and prejudices. Without this, the future doesn’t look quite bright.
