laugh

A Poem by Dupur Mitra

wherever he is poor
may be he is hungry today
may be his face will be pale after taking photograph

Yet he laughs
laughing like a dew drops in the leaf

nobody understands his poverty or hungriness
by seeing his photograph

although poverty
although hungriness
although struggle

Man always want to see his face

laughing

Sometimes art can be selfish. You have raised an interesting point.

A sad poem. I know people who had accept less. Poor people don't have far to fall. When the world lose complete control. Like the Bible state. The poor and meek will control the earth. Laughing is all we have sometimes. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

i think part of the reason why i do like reading your poetry is because the english IS a bit off, grammar wise, but i think it makes your poems more unique, the english isn't so off that you can't understand it or it hinders it in a really bad way, i've come to realize this and just read your poetry for what it is, this was simple and well done, you use few words, but can get the point across nicely without being overly complicated or trying too hard
