facetious

i would not stop those
who jape and jest
who love a laugh
and mock the rest
who facetious
bring others joy
I would not stifle
or make them coy
but would remind
that words have power
a moment's joke
may sting an hour
the things you say
may hurt and harm
when you meant
to just disarm
raise points, make jokes
but still consider
whether you're
laughing at or
with her
if you tease
to tear him down
if your target's mighty
or on the ground
a laugh's a lark
and a weapon
so be conscious
who your aim's on
