Reading in the jungle of the English language <br />I begin to feel swamped Lost for derivative words of nouns adjectives and verbs <br />Hiding behind exclamations, conjunctions, prepositions.suffixes <br />Making my path for meaning foggy as I see thousands of obsolete words Lay by the wayside. <br /> <br />Without rhyme or reason we ride the syllabified rhythm as we speak <br />Wading in our lifetime through over one hundred thousand syllables. <br />My kingdom for a horse to ride over the mountain of words we never use, <br />Sympathetic syzsygy symbolism twisting the mother tongue <br />Ironically it sinks into children with the number one beginner being <br />Mammy and Daddy as the words are giggled and sung. <br /> <br />Now as these words envelope us into the English language we must <br />In today's world use the best words more like I love you, hug me, show mercy <br />To move forward in harmony across the world hand in hand.<br /><br />Ken e Hall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jungle-of-the-english-language/
