Linguistic Revolution

Tinnitus and shiny objects,

Rings and are soon spent,

While love, beauty, and wisdom

Given don’t strip the giver.

So the folly in forcing a linguistic revolution

Upon souls at large…

Which person creates his existence

Or chooses the type of creature she is?

Wholly contingent, the world truly

Doesn’t need and could go on without them.

So the folly in forcing a linguistic revolution

Upon society at large…

The Author shrinks from a character’s pride?

The protagonist who rebuffs the storyline

Knows not the Will of its Creator Whom

Seeks its Highest Good in Ways known to Him alone.

So the folly in forcing a linguistic revolution

Upon God at large…
