Stolen Laughter

When you see the mouth elongating And the tongue diving between the teeth Like the tongue of a hunting chameleon Then you are sure this is stolen laughter When lips part and twist on one side Saliva dripping like rain of broken gutters With the voice cracking- croak, croak Like a frog in lone ghostly swamps When you hear others complaining That the laughter is a hyena’s laugh Giggling voices of demons in a cave Then the laughter is stolen indeed Stolen laughter, stolen laughter The big lie that robs the innocent Liberty and freedom of humanity the victims will be vindicated in time
