The Last Laugh

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence. - Thoreau

They ridicule me and mock my God.

Cross-eyed and charlatan.

But when they're tired from running to and fro and going nowhere.

Asleep.

Like lambs to the slaughter and lost sheep.

Without a peep.

With joy on my sleeve and peace in my heart.

Embarking on a fresh start.

I get out of the boat and walk on the water.

Separating the wheat from the chaff.

I have ...

...the last laugh ...
