Words Ask Poem by Abdullah alHemaidy

Words ask

Have you had enough?

Have we done enough?

Words wonder!

They asked:

Why people misuse us?

Why they abuse each other via us?

We are good.

Men created us.

Men call some of us terms.

Some men think that we are toys

We can be whatever you think of.

Just clean the mess of the house.

We are so flexible

We are capable of change

Man can bend us easily

We are living beings

Just like human

One of us born

And die

Some have too long life

Some have short life

We are originally from you

We are males

We are females

We are questions

We are answers

If you asked who we are?

We are something like numbers

Like digits

We are far deep,

And more than that

We are symbols

We are systems

We are shapes

We are sounds

We are names

What are we?

In short, we are words

No talk nor joke without us.

No poem nor prose.

Men without us are just a body language.

Without that they are just flesh.

No more no less.

Have you thought about us?

We are many thousands of groups

You call each group a language.



Two thousands four hundreds year ago, the famous Chinese man, 孔夫子 Confucius, said that laws and words do not control the world, It has been always controlled by symbols, (tattoos and logos) .
