Die Laughing
People are losing their sense of humor
everything is now offensive
A good laugh from comedy
is now a bad thing
A compliment, a smile, an common word usage
is now offensive
Satire is no longer funny
Any view different from yours is now racist
Worry, anger and guilt and hate
are the new pleasures that never please
Sometimes I watch my little dogs play
the simplest of things gift laughter
So nice when a friend unexpectedly calls to say hi
walking together with your love hand and hand
Being witty, silly or just joking around
Happiness is waiting for the world to rediscover
laughter is the sound of freedom
Even in sickness and with deep sadness
I pray I will die laughing
