Speech


Imagine a world with no speech.

You get out of bed, no "good morning" from your mom,

You take a walk, no friendly "hello" from the neighbor,

You are committed at work, no "good job" from your boss.

However, when you get out of bed, your mom isn't getting verbally abused by your stepdad,

When you take a walk, your neighbor doesn't call the guy that just tripped on the other side of the street a retard,

And when you go to work, your co-worker doesn't whipser "fag" in your ear as you pass by each other.

What would I chang in the world?

I would create a world with no speech.
