Laughter That Hurts
Laughter that hurts does not exist
The laughter raises my spirit
I want a brother to laugh with me
Let’s laugh together what come may
Life’s a journey to nowhere
Mind not about highway codes
Use access routes and by-passes
To reach your imagined paradise
Survival for the fittest is my goal
I need a brother with a laughing mouth
A mouth that does not cry, when I laugh
For that is the world’s ways of life
Laughter hurts only the unseen
Happiness here is my goal, do or die
Close your ears to avoid being hurt
I will laugh and laugh, rain or shine
