Lingua Poems | Examples


Nulla Lingua

Can you go crazy 
without language
madness unclear

Can you reason
without dialog
or words for your fears

Can you think
without symbols
progress undefined

Can you tie it
together
—without names in your mind

The wife was sure in the mood
To jump the bones of some dude
But found at her toes
Pinocchio's nose
Geppetto misunderstood!

Tongue For What Lingua Para Que

Língua para quê?

É função de a língua
dizer não e não sei. 

Dizendo não, 
evita que o coração
faça trapalhadas. 

Dizendo "os não sei"
treine 
para que a língua
não repasse para o intelecto. 

Dizendo sim,
eu sei 
deve passar direto ao coração. 

Treinar a língua é uma forma civilizadora. 

ENTRE DUAS PESSOAS QUE ESTÃO BRIGANDO, 
AQUELA QUE PRIMEIRAMENTE SILENCIAR
SUA LÍNGUA
SERÁ A MAIS LOUVÁVEL
