No language is great or superior
Nor is any language mean or inferior
But English is the most popular language
In the present modern age or even previous age
It is just a historical accident
It is not at al a great precedent
Mother, mother land and mother tongue are heaven
We have to protect them as a common phenomenon
English is a huge vulture
The destroyer of many a culture
Speaking English is a status quo
Not speaking it is considered very low
Every body should know and respect his mother tongue
There is no harm or sin in learning another tongue
But nobody should consider English and English are the best
The languages and cultures of the east are as great as the west
Language is just a means of communication
It is a must for any human or nation
Language shows all of us the way
It makes us possible what to say
Today is international mother-tongue day
Let every language shine like the sun ray

Nice poem. I just found the second line a bit strange, was it on purpose or a mistake?
"Nor is any language IS mean or inferior"
Dear Zojinio, thank you.It is a mistake.

Thank you very much for this fine tribute to international mother-tongue day....I didn't know there was such a day. It is very nicely written...I enjoyed the discussion.
