When you may still be hoarding the treasures.

Laugh from the heart, laugh from the mind.

Laugh from your front, laugh from the hind.

Laugh the love, laugh the sorrows,

For one day, it may be lost, not to be found again.

Laugh at humans and their petty tomorrows.

For none is real, except the soothing sound of laughter.

Laugh while you can, for laughter is precious.

Smile at the new for they are pure gold.

“It’s Kentucky, we can run through the crowds.”

The security guards nodded not aware of any other gesture. Such a short notice for them to not react normally.

“Now, hold this. Now just aim at that fat tummy and shoot.” Marco was startled for a moment.

“Do you want me to kill again? Why? So, you brought me here for this? To relieve you of some shitty pain.”
