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) .
