Poet's Corner: Laughter

Teach me laughter,

Save my soul.

Embrace my joy,

Don’t let me fall

In Hell’s abyss,

In times of woe,

Where

Dreams are scarce

And hopes are low.

For, we now stand

Before a foe

That

Loathes us both

And curses all

Who dream of times

Which they recall

As times of plenty,

Times of awe.

So as we stand

And guard our krall,

I pray to you

And all I know

To

Teach me laughter,

Save my soul

Or I will always be

A doll…

…devoid of life;

A mindless thrall...
