English Poem by ROGEL FRANCIS SORIOSO

The English language is the product of our knowledge and imagination
Just like all the other languages in the past kingdoms and civilization
We invented and wrote different languages in order to communicate
The beauty of each language is not something we wish to eradicate
The spices and delights of a person's life lies on variety
He is pleased to know that he has some choices in society
Language is not suppose to be a barrier to our success and unity
Although language is sometimes spoken in such profanity
To speak the native language of our native land
Is to give respect and honor to our fatherland
But the ability to speak the language spoken by the greater
Is the opportunity to be heard and understood even better
Languages are like the food they serve on the buffet table
There's always something tasty that makes me come back if I'm able
Languages are like the clothes I wear on a casual day
I pick the color or design and I don't care what they say
For it is the content of our words in the language we speak that electrifies
It moves our emotions as we hear making us weak or strong as it petrifies
