Dónal Campbell Laughter and Despair
a baby laughs laughs at sounds laughs at shadows knows not what he laughs at a child laughs laughs to feel good laughs in confusion laughs so as not to cry a small boy does not laugh laughs are replaced with despair embarrassment and guilt laughs are only a memory a young man goes to war anger inside him drives him a good soldier he is the young man never laughs an man sits in a corner youth died long ago maps on his face sadness in his eyes a old man waits for death laughs at sounds laughs at shadows knows not what he laughs at |
