Language.

Language

Language.

We use her.

We change her; steal her identity.

Take away her liberties. Strip her of her freedoms.
We twist her into embarrassing, grammatically incorrect, ignorant fights on the internet.

We use her as a weapon to abuse others; to inflict pain upon the hearts of our fellow Minds.

We drive Language to a state of anxiety about her Loss of Self.

We manipulate her in order to manipulate others.

 

But additionally, we can employ her:

To comfort;

To educate;

 To encourage;

 To communicate;

To pluck at the heartstrings of the ever-thinning audience of hearts yearning for poetry.

We mold her into beautiful, lyrical poems and thought-provoking literature.

We craft her into art.

We allow her to grow simple Minds into Minds filled with opinions and knowledge.

 

Language has the ability to be beautifully constructive, but is often as equally destructive.

But we are her puppet-masters; she is under our spell

Language.

We use her.
