Language
Dil
Tongue
Locks us behind imaginary walls
that we blindly stay inside of
never knowing how much
smiles
or tears
can speak
geography divides us
and we stay satisfied
live in telephone talks
of comfortable slang
and dialects
never think twice
about what it could be
if we tried
Language - Dil
Can fly us over oceans into livingrooms
of connection
we were raised on different streets and sidewalks
but our homes are the same
mothers always take care of their children
and fathers love with hearts bigger than they ever knew
language locks us inside walls but
if we try
we'd realize
how much
smiles can say
and how language
can unlock doors to new families
and connection
