Who Laughs at Them Today

Do you enjoy the subtle quip
Of which just the sharpened tip
Lethally do you expose?

All the strangenesses of those
Cursed to be in your surround
Do you harry and you hound?

Laughter coming out of you
Mean another harm unto?

You but work to your own sorrow —
As in Vietnam they say:
Human beings laugh tomorrow
At who laughs at them today.
