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
