They Laughed
poem by:

For when he danced on the hill, - - - They laughed! For when he cried by the river, - - - They laughed! They drove him deep into himself, far deeper than he had ever been. - - - And they laughed! He became very solemn, for he dared not laugh. As he may harm others just as he had been harmed by laughter. - - - And they laughed at this! HE fought his way back, regaining his strength. Bit by bit, and each bit - - - - They laughed! He regained his poise and posture, - - - but they laughed! He became successful, joyful and innocent toward them, and he helped them. - - - And they cried!

So many will belittle someone over and over because they can, then when the table is turned and that person can actually help the one who belittled them, the guilt trip is tremendous. You certainly capture the reader with this one. Take care. Janet
