Foreign Words

I had a nightmare
that i could speak
what they speak
with those
foreign words
that they
slipped in

Lawyer speak
University speak
Laws popping up
on words
you shall say
or no peace

A language
that most of us
do not speak
where foreign words
are now becoming
a trojan horse
hollowing out
squeesing dry
whole sentences
on the reasons why
empathy and morals
have the right
to exist

This language for us
with words
that taste bland
when we speak
a unique taste
of rotting fish
whole sentences
with no teeth
just that unique
 taste
of rotting fish
words
uniquely designed
to passify
to take out
all the teeth
in sentences

We Used To Believe
