GNP

by Hafeez ur Rehman

Can you conceive
a smile without face
nodding its way
into gain and
adding up to
Gross National Pain.

They will tax your tears,
form commissions to
reform patterns of grief
and unleash committees
to submit proposals to
levy export duty on death.

In the development plan,
happiness would
grow on trees and
factories would produce
designer smile masks
from imported raw material.

For a very long time
we would serve
the debt of this smile
and hire a prequalified expert
to find a face.
