Laughter

It's not because we are carefree and all is well

but because of all the wrong in the human world

that we have to keep the smile on our faces.

Those who have stolen our love, our freedom

and benefit from our forsaken dreams

fear nothing as much as our laughter;

those who have been chasing our happiness away

hoping that our will and our thrive should one day die out

frown and swear in anger as we laugh louder.

So hear us out

for we will go on, even if all we can is one more step,

we are still here, breathing, laughing, dreaming, living;

with dreams we would not give up

a life, legitimately ours by all laws of nature

breathing the same air as you do

and feeling the happiness which has always been ours.

All the pain and suffering you bring upon us

and all the anger and frustration

would not suffice to take these away from us.

So hear our laughter and fear our dreams.
