most people are simple complicated people personalities
easily defined in a moment by posture smiling faces
to having a really bad day slump shoulder sad faces
signs happy to fear tired wear and tear are easily read
feelings can be read in a moment sometimes originating
from how people woke jumped climbed or fell out of bed
which may effect endure for moments hours an entire day
when people are wearing happy smiling face personalities
it is easy to laugh joke work with happy 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 jokes when against cage ropes will hurt sting 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
