The Jesters Defense

A sharp tongue, a shield of wit,  
where truth feels softer wrapped in spit.  
It stings, yes—doesn’t everything?  
But laughter blunts a little of the sting.  

So when life bares its teeth and bites,  
I bite back with jokes, not fights.  
Better to laugh than let wounds fester,  
in this world where pain claims to be the jester.
