Poem Artwork

We look upon life as a stage,
And the kind of theatrical show,
Which must go on no matter what.

We like best is always high comedy,
Whether that comedy be a new law in draft,
Or a bill of rights, or a disbanding cabinet. . .

We always enjoy it, but I wish
We would sometimes be serious a bit.
Yes, humor, above all, is running the world.

But we can have too much of that golden laughter,
For it is the laughter of a villain, at the breath of whose
Every sprout of good sense withers and dies.

As someone who write humor, I'd rather be made fun of, than treated with outright hostility. I think of Stephen hawking when he said, Life would be tragic if it weren't so funny.

I thought your poem was going to be funny. But I found it to be dead serious. Satire is the most cutting form of humor. Unfortunately satire is often misread. In the case of the current administration there are so many slip-ups and downright strange things happening that humorists, in the tradition of Mark Twain, can't help but make fun when everything is going to hell.

Laughter at the expense of others is not humorous at all, as you suggest, it's life-giving breath kills.

I watch Stephen Colbert every night. He makes fun of our problems. I've reached the point where I don't find his jokes humorous anymore. Instead, they've begun to depress me. Our country is being mocked by the world. This no laughing matter anymore.
