People Complexity Personality Differing Days Poem by Terence George Craddock

when people are wearing
happy smiling
face personalities
it is easy to laugh joke
work with happy smiling people
we can laugh with them at them
jokes can be fun
happy people often

enjoy jokes
do not from fun run
words light as a feather
will laughter not shatter
mean nasty intent to hurt
jokes are a type of cancer

when people wear
sad down out
crushed fearful faces
have reached sunk
limit sink into danger
cannot cope depths
butt of cruel jokes
when against cage ropes

will hurt sting cut can
become knock out blows
most people wear
simple complicated
people personality faces
take a little care

a happy day is
often an immunity
to words care free day
with regard to what
people say but
anger grief trauma days
beware what jokes
you say these are days

no shield up
no duck
people crushed
a few thoughtless
said or mean cast words
can people slay
