For most of us contain a living mind

Apparently, some people are surprised
The words we speak, the sentences  that bind
Language plays such a big part in our lives

Dedicated writing, like love, thrives,
For most of us contain a living mind
Apparently brilliant people are surprised

The problem’s when a woman is  a wife
When every day, she’s told she must be kind
Language plays such a  strange role in our lives

One day such a woman  takes a knife
And stabs the man who caused her facial lines
Apparently, all humanity’s surprised

So what is it that causes bitter strife?
She forgot to turn the water into wine?
Language plays the fool’s role in our lives

Let some forceless torture be derived
And with a rubber bullet make it plain
Nobody even noticed the surprise.

What if  Abel had got rid of  Cain?
Would we now be living in this pain?
It seems grave people are much less surprised
Language  is what makes us take our lives
