communication
Posted: August 14th, 2005, 3:08 pm
cyber word swill, often daft -
much like daily life, the craft
of relaying thoughts takes skill
with an e-lectronic quill.
what we mean is what we say
when we learn how to convey
deft ideas with noun or verb -
interpretation can disturb.
spoken word is much the same.
voice inflection helps proclaim
our intentions - so absurd
to communicate by word.
speak in english, speak in latin,
arabic, or in manhattan
articulate your words like natives,
contemplative and creative....
doesn't matter what your tongue,
words together must be strung
to illicit understanding -
skill in verbiage is demanding.
sometimes seems like babylon.
wrong conclusions can be drawn
from what's said -- should be no blame
even if our tongue's the same.
language barriors amaze me,
though i thought not much would phase me.
to convey what we intend -
almost hopeless, I contend.
it's a wonder with our scrawl
we communicate at all.
