In our language structures link up words
Sentences are the first and may be last
So many lovely friends, he cried, I heard.
To structure modern families seems hard
We move around for work at such a cost
In our thinking, structures build from words.
Society no longer makes us learn
And our religious feeling has been lost
How to find friends when the structure’s gone?
In our living, we need forms to learn
Yet are they gone, must science take on the task?
In some lives, the structures have been burned
Order, pattern, grammar, all in turn
Shape our feelings till we are possessed
In society, structures support words.
Let no-one from this culture be outcast
Let no-one die like lepers shunned,alas
In our language, structures link our words.
Humans spoke in sentences we heard.
