Laughter,
But a faint memory,
Remember the last time you laughed with no worries?
Laughter,
Isn’t that what you are after?
Temporal or…
Fake and loud,
Regardless of being empty,
Happy or sad,
To smile and to laugh;
In this world or the hereafter?
Amidst the darkness,
Amidst the world that gradually darkens,
Amidst all the chaos and destruction,
The soul losing its essence,
People, well just more self-indulgent.
“Will you be my source of laughter?”,
He asked her,
Pfft, she replies and vanishes,
He gazed and laughed at himself,
And the world laughs at him,
And so, the world laughs at him,
While despair…
With open arms, takes him in.
