Laugh
Thina Maxathi 1999 (Cape Town)
Laugh out sorrow
Laugh out louder
Laugh out excruciating pain out of your heart
Laugh out sadness out of your system
Laugh out mercilessly
Laugh out remorselessly
Laugh till you run out of tears
Laugh till you run out of breathe
Drink laughter pill
Eat laughter meal
Live in a laughter home
Walk in a laughter street
Think laughter and be elated
Think laughter and be on planet laughter
Think of laughter and dream oof laughter
Think laughter and be on planet laughter
Laugh now, stress later
Laugh now, think later
Laugh now, eat later
Laugh now, live now
Laugh! Laugh! Laugh
About this poem
Laugh even in a unanticipated time, laugh when you shouldn't be laughing, at the end of the day you only live once.
