Languages Poem by Paul Warren

Our DNA has shown that
We all come from a woman
In Central Africa and migrated
Around this world to form
What we have as a population

With this being the case
How have we all ended up
Not being able to understand
Each other when we speak
Did isolation and local conditions cause it?

And now the world is becoming
A village will we have the same
Language eventually for everyone
Or will our the differences between
Us all be too much to overcome.
