Poetry by Khem Aunghk Annu
Laughter is
medicine,
and
it doesn’t take
a doctor
to prescribe.
It is in itself a healer
that has no home,
has no religion to preach,
it doesn’t need a wife
or
husband;
it has no code of ethics,
it leans not to the right
or the left,
therefore, it has no politics.
It has no sympathy for the
poor
and doesn’t speak the language
of the rich.
It is what is,
a song without lyrics,
peculiar
to its owner – the one you will.
