Reading The Animal WordsA Story by TemporaryListening and talking is not always the same as listening and talking
Listening and talking is not always the same as listening and talking
Sounds confusing but not listening as one talks is even more so There are those who claim to know it all but really now Is it all that they know but that's not the whole story If you can't communicate then you don't know what you are missing Computers have protocols so every bit is translated never lost Beings who don't speak the language can appear to know nothing Their culture and vocabulary not even lost simply ignored If a being doesn't know the language standardized tests are a joke Freedom of expression is more than words that are spoken Propaganda is a static picture blocking connections of thought Animals don't know the language we test in and we don't know theirs So their vocabulary is a short list of words for those with short minds Animals have names and places for everything same as we do We feed them a couple of things so we think they only eat as much For most every bug has an image with a name and maybe a sound And definitely actions like buzz crawl fly sting and bite Even if we don't know the name we all got the same catalog of ideas Then we have the animals so apparently dumb and quite stupid After all their vocabulary based on our rules is so tiny and small Supposedly for animals all bugs look the same without actions or meanings Two choices there are and good ones at just eat it or not Rules by the people who talk for everyone who doesn't appear to listen When in reality all those parameters describing life are lots of silent words Far too many words to count as you might imagine thoughts multiply Like combinations of a lock three words makes nine choices And so it all goes tumbling as foods actions sleeping emotions Real mental map making when mazes are run in real forests and fields Our brains have untold trillions of thoughts with storage a plenty The rat brain is actually only a couple hundred times smaller than ours Not much when to consider when the order of magnitude is in the trillions © 2014 Temporary |
