Broken or Awoken?
We use verbs
And nouns
And crazy adjectives
To express our minds’ sounds
But what if language didn’t exist
And no one could speak
But only act?
Would life be vivid or bleak?
Would everyone care
And hug and kiss
And smile and skip
And enjoy life’s bliss?
Or would everyone
Stop and just stay inside
With millions of things to say
And in only themselves to confide.
I know voice will always be there
And language always spoken
Yet I wonder what if it wasn’t?
Would we be broken or awoken?
