In times of disaster, humour’s surely not best.
Words spoken and shared must not be in jest.
In times of great panic there’s no room to laugh.
It’s best if serious thoughts be our staff.
Be wary of anger in these sad events.
Fighting destroys needed good, solid intent.
Lightness of spirit will return when it’s time,
when fire, smoke and ashes have all turned to grime.
Gentle smiles and kind words welcomed will be,
and as needed and comforting as the shade of a tree.
“Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.”
~ Aung San Suu Kyi
