Babel thoughtsA Poem by aurora kastanias
Anthropology suggests there was a time
When no communication was spoken by men, Merely embryonic sounds to express Primitive thoughts, until development called For evolution to inspire, words holding meaning. Religion narrates archaic stories of Babel, Of a common tongue bonding civilisations Building a Tower, until the Lord witnessed The limitless ability of a unified humanity and decided, To confuse their speech to disunite them. Esotericism puts forth the ancient possibility Of a coalescing language to be found in telepathy, Unable to hide, disguise or lie, until men felt The need to do so, creating lemmas that would conceal Their real intentions and their true self. Now if someone in English is a person and no one Is nobody, and in Italian the someone is a persona And the nobody is nessuno, when the French call both The someone and the nobody personne, what does it do To the understanding of each other? © 2017 aurora kastanias |
