Silliness

SILLINESS
P K Routray
Matters silly to me and you
brings for children joy and anguish true
illogical, useless, unreal and fantasy to us
to children they are truth, real and matter serious.
The funny games, the fairy tells and demanding wailing for the comics to read,
amusing dresses, inconsistent demands of children look all stupid.
As we grow with plethora of garbage in earthly wisdom
we lose our innate child like ability and find the values of silliness seldom.
With that we lose the humor side of life
With all seriousness out of nothing, we feel the life is full of strife.
At a life with all its seriousness, if you take a look,
It is made up of many silly things out of one’s ridiculous outlook.
One comes to this earth empty handed and is surer to leave also with empty hand,
after a temporary stay in his transitory world when his assigned role comes to an end.
All are temporary and illusory in the real knowledge and wisdom
Hence the child ’s plays, absurd, irrational, ridiculous and silly, are all welcome
As all our matured activities are no different from those deemed to have come out of child’s silliness
enjoy the same as a child but to look down upon them is surly foolish and baseless.
Derive pleasure in listening to fairy tales and reading the children’s comic,
be a horse for your loved ones to get relieved from the tension of this age of supersonic.
