Gallows Humor

“Humor that makes fun of a life-threatening, disastrous, or terrifying situation”. Webster’s Dictionary



How can they be so heartless

to sit there with a grin



In the burning ruins where

someone’s house had been



You cannot understand the firefighter

but we care more than you know



We laugh and kid around sometimes

So that our pain won’t show



We can’t always show emotions

but we still hear the cries



Seeing our own loved ones

In a strangers hurting eyes



If we seem insensitive

It’s not what it appears



Sometimes we need to joke around

to hold back our own tears.

you know it!!!!!!!

very nice.....so true
