He Who Laughs Last Poem by Qiniso Mogale
He Who Laughs Last
The end is more important than
the beginning
Ending well is more important than
starting well
Many have started well and ended badly
Many have started well but their end
was disastrous
He who laughs last laughs best.
Those who started well ridicule those who
started badly
Those who started well mock those who
started badly
Those who started well make fun of those
who started badly
But time is more powerful than the most powerful
Circumstances go against those who
started well
Roles are changed and those who started
badly are now in favorable conditions
The law of gravity takes it's course
He who laughs last laughs best.
The higher they go up the harder they fall
The prouder they are the more shamed they are
Humility is forced down their throats
In their embarrassment they feel like even
the birds of the air are laughing at them
They were quick to laugh
He who laughs last laughs the best.

Ofcourse ending of a work is most important than the beginning. However both should be done perfectly. Dear Qiniso, you have perfectly written the beginning as well as the ending. Let me quote some lines from both sides. The end is more important than the beginning Ending well is more important than starting well Many have started well and ended badly Humility is forced down their throats In their embarrassment they feel like even the birds of the air are laughing at them They were quick to laugh He who laughs last laughs the best. As a whole it is a beautiful poem. Thanks.
