The Man Who Knows


A severe man is unripe.
A real one laughs.

He has an easy smile.
He jokes.

Not always so annoyed.
So easily offended.

He wears a grin.
Not because he isn't serious.
He knows which things deserve severity.
And most do not.

He doesn't tighten up at the nonsense.

He laughs because he is unafraid.

A sense of humor that comes from confidence.
And spiritual uprightness.
The old grin of the rascal.
The man who owns himself.

A man without humor is not free.
