Communication

To some

Language makes us superior

As though the scribbles written

Upon deaden trees make us more-

More than “common” animal

 

But does not the owl hoot?

Nor the “common” wolf call out?

Language is no more or less

Than sounds made up

And put into a system

 

Language is meant to

Communicate and form an understanding

But for all that we say

Are we really being

Understood?
