Laugh And Laugh, And Weep And Weep Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

Some people laugh and laugh,
Over things they are enjoying.
Some others weep and weep,
Over things they are defeated.
And disappointed.
Yet, I laugh and laugh, weeping
And weep and weep, laughing.
When I look at things happening around
Without knowing whether to laugh or weep

I am alienated from everything
In the evening part of my life
Yet, the sense of affection comes up
At times, towards my kiths and kin
For whom I am forgotten
And it becomes cloudy closing its direction
I weep and weep thinking about them
Shedding tears
Having no any right of my own to share.

It is the heart full of love and affection
The abode of God, always in.
Yet, people go in search of HIM
Temples to temples on pilgrimage
Without a heart to care
For men in need.

I weep and weep, laughing.
Laugh and laugh, weeping
