Just Shirt Up! Poem by Simon Odhiambo

Language, Language, Lingo
makes me sometimes click
With no meaning at all, just click
Language, language, lingo

If eyes were not there, would I still see
With my ears, perhaps?
With my brain, not at all
Language, language, lingo

If my ears were my eyes, would I see or hear?
May be if seeing means hearing, then I would
With my brain, confused
Language and Lingo lingers

If I had no heart, would I like or love
What would pump my blood, to my heart?
With my brain so red, burning
I just dont know the lingo

If touching was walking
And walking was cooking
And cooking, running
May be Love would be dead
And dead would be life
Just shut myself up!

Oh! This life would be different
Without this language
But there would still be
Another lingo I suppose
