Foreign Languages On the Line

As a kid going to Private School We learned many things being numerous source tools We would often take field trips to various places Each had its own individual spaces One particular event was the United Nations It was known with communicating with and establishing that with the world We journeyed in what makes the United Nations in what it is We had a Tour Guide from India who told us about the UN Then our tour really started to begin We entered an auditorium behind a sturdy glass It was made to muffle the sound of silence much like a mask We were at a General Assembly with a headset and Interpreter who spoke As a kid, we learned that the UN was a serious business and no joke Well things started to heat up with strong intense verbal use It was becoming more like personal country abuse Countries upon countries telling each other off You could say defining with no meaning The Interpreter literally stopped translating Because we were 12 years old, Security demanded that we take off the headsets immediately Later we headed for our school bus and journeyed back to our destination It’s amazing how things are done all with a little persuasion The United Nations with its own special blend, and my story that has come to a complete end.
