what's in a language?

what is in a language.

he speaks a tongue,

the only one he knows.

not for show,

not to please,

its a natural thing, really.

a paradox.

on one hand,

authority demands,

on the other,

peers pressure against it.

what is in a language?

how would he know?

he's spoken but one

all his life.

some call it अंग्रेजी,

others refer to it

as english.

its a lingo

we're all familiar with.

rather, as a necessity.

we've even fought

battles over it.

lives have been lost.

but it's been there

for quite some time.

so what's in a language?

"guys, talk in english." 

"साले , हिंदी में बात कर। "
