So Many Languages

So Many Languages

1 min

Music is a language, and equally so, mathematics

DNA is a form of and means of expressing a language

Visual art has components of language, unheard

Is that what you mean by “too many languages?”


Dear friend, if it were; I would have no complaint

For each of those examples, there is a negative equivalent

Music and Mathematics have harmony; DNA, the blueprint of our

Physiological self. Disharmony flourishes in many forms


Disbelief, disrespect, distrust, contrarianism

Disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing

Is not equivalent to conducting a reasoned, considered

Argument. Yes, words matter! You always knew that


That’s why you consider it a game, n’est-ce pas

Anything you can do, I can do worse (I mean, better)

Disharmony is a collective term, for a number of languages

Feeding fear, disinformation - creating doubt (very useful)


Mistruths (lies)? Save those for when necessary.

Feed insecurity first and maintain the pressure

Then when they are most vulnerable, hit them 

with the misinformation, to provoke them into action


Insecurities, having been translated into action

They are yours to control, and manipulate; puppets on a string

Are there too many languages? It depends on your point of view

Do you want strife, to fear for your life; or a room with a view?
