LAUGHTER

They laugh at her, And scorn her

For her madness, and her dumb ideas
She refuses to conform
To her friends in the dorm.
She says I will not bend
On trifles and trinkets to spend
Money which has the power
Like that of a drop
Which forms the oceans and the seas,
Like that of nectar
To save a life.
We don’t have the courage,
They wink to each other,
To give to charity, they roll up
Their eyes, turn up their noses
And curl up their lips.

But..but she sputters incoherently,

have the power to spend at will
in the newly opened malls
three times the salary
of a labouring man without a blink..
