Language, the Blessing from God

Signs, sounds and words, the language.

Blessing from God,

To open our hearts to others,

To share our joys and sorrows,

To appease the distraught minds

 With the tranquil words,

To cut down vast distances

To love and befriend,

 And to bring forth our tales

From the closets of our minds,

Language, the blessing from God,

To pull down the barriers

And come closer to others,

And not to divide and barricade

And let loose the Satan of our minds

To spill the venoms of  jealousy and hatred.
