[A language cannot define a religion, nor can a religion be defined by a language. A language is pure, absolute and more powerful than petty socio-politicial thoughts of the world! Love for a language is the greatest virtue which an individual can have. It liberates one from the ignorance that may have seeped into the canals of thoughts!]
Will you speak?
Will you speak your mind?
...
Can you speak?
My friend
needs no words
to speak his dreams,
no grammar to carry his pain
I can still feel
his signs and symbols;
they are harmless
like the sparrows' chirps
which I hear
from the lawns
of the school for the dumb:
they are quite gentler
than voices...
voices that create
protests against men
who love to speak,
learn a language or three!
Thoughts.
They design a man
just as the seeds
decide a garden's strength.
Lilies and roses
drank water from the same
brown earth that absorbs us,
yet, they look different.
Isn't this what He created!
How will you arrest thoughts
with morale so void?
A language resides in minds:
you can impose rules on speech,
and not on thinking -
there's more to a language
than just a way of life:
it grows as a conscience,
neither can it be stolen
nor can it be penalized as a fine!
