GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #211

People know us through the language we use….

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was:’Good Morning Message #210‘.

Good Morning Friends,

It took centuries for languages to be evolved,
And come to their present elegant levels;
All of us are in one way or the other involved,
Some of us are angels and other devils.
Nevertheless, language defines who we are,
A polished person or a lout at the local bar.

You may pretend to be an envied socialite,
But if you have a crude and abusive tongue,
Something about you doesn’t appear to be right,
You give the impression of being highly strung.
Language defines who we really are,
A polished person or a lout at the bar.

You can frequently hide your evil thought,
But when you speak you give out the truth,
Your expression can easily show your secret spot,
Of being a charlatan or simply uncouth.
Language defines who you really are,
A polished person or a lout at the bar.

So why not pay attention to what we speak and write,
And leave the gutter language in the gutter?
Our language should always be a delight,
And not something that the rogues would utter.
Language defines who we really are,
A polished person or a lout at the bar.

….our language defines who we really are.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
