Humor can unite
Lightening the mood
when we need a smile
Poking fun
at our shared absurdities
Group smiles soothe
a variety of calamities
but if we offend
even though
we did not intend
to wound bruised egos
the humor we wield
becomes a weapon
that cuts deep
friends become enemies
at the perceived comedy slight
Maybe it's not right
The nuclear power of words
When the joke turns on us
as the laughter implodes
