WORDS IN THE AIR

I live in a cosmopolitan city, London. Everywhere you travel your ears hear the languages of so many cultures, sometimes I feel I would love to gel it all together, feed it into a computer and create a new language.

In the air

I hear

all the world talking

everywhere

I hear

one accord speaking.

In the bus

I hear

on the street

everywhere

I hear

the voices of nations talking.

Laughter in the air

I hear

children speaking

their words bi-lingual

I hear

everywhere

this understanding

is it just a begining,

then I wonder why

I see

so much

misunderstanding,

beyond my home

so much confusion,

that it needs those children

to still the hating

teach the world

to all start talking.
