Communication

It’s a form art
It is crucial from the start
Talking to someone for the first time
Without having the need to mime
First impressions matter with anyone
Speaking or signing is for everyone 
We use hand gestures to share emotion 
Can also be used to cause a commotion 
It’s can be playful or offensive
Or used to be defensive
Our body language gives a lot away
Put ourselves on show and display
Language comes in different forms
And sometimes we have to do reforms
From facsimile to pagers 
As humans we love exchanges 
From letter to texts
We learn about context
Nobody can replace a real conversation 
For love friendship and education
To feel the warmth of someone’s words
To hear the bees and the birds
Language can be secret or slang
Can be between two or within a gang 
It can show us consequence and direction 
Or a platform for affection
Or it can be the comfortable silence 
That forms a strong alliance
