GIVE US BACK OUR LANGUAGE
A Poem
by Austin Mitchell
We don’t understand their language
They forced us to adopt its usage
We abandoned our language
Because they forced us to do it
What was wrong with our language?
Why they forced us to abandon it?
And now we are struggling at it
To understand their language
They wanted to fool us
So they made us use their language
Because they know we don’t understand it
So it would be easier to fool us
And they are laughing at us
They know what they’ve done to us
They’ve turned us against each other
Brother hating brother, sister hating sister
We can’t turn back
It’s already too late for us
We can’t go back
It’s already ingrained in us
