Ragging Menace

How can you ever rag a fresher, say, When he or she is new to college, aye? Each life is equally priceless today; You don’t have right to talk, your hand to lay! Yes, seniors rag when juniors in fear stay; They do or say whatever: come what may; For nasty things, they have a price to pay; The age-old social evil stays this way! But ragging is a menace and a crime; It continues despite new laws with time; The seniors want a jolly time and clime; The silly habit is not worth a dime! But seniors aren’t licensed to do such things; Their words and actions at times simply stings; They think freshers are servants; they are kings! Yes, transient joys and thrills just ragging brings! Who cares about the freshers’ temperaments? They cannot keep their hair or wear garments; They are victims of senior merriments; Some lives end in gruesome experiments! Yes, seniors want juniors to them respect; Their ways are harsh and ill-feelings inject; If guilty, college can them well eject; But ragging is something all well reject! The habit is an evil that must stop; Arrests can be effected by a cop; Punished are all from bottom to the top; Yet, anti-ragging measures sometimes flop! A change in attitude is needed fast; The menace is much better than in past; A mutual love and respect must well last; Friendship will end this evil that’s aghast! “Ragging is a crime; ragging is banned for all times! ” dedicated to all well-behaved college students Copyright by Dr John Celes 1-09-11
