Why English is Becoming the World Language

by Amanda J Cobb

We manipulate the language
into pointed, poisoned words
that drip, drip, drip
into the ears of the unwary
lulling them to deathlike sleep
with promises of peace
and justice
and brotherhood,
and while they dream of green meadows
and happy, well-fed children,
send them to meet their Maker.

Very provocative... I always thought it was because of money and greed. But then again, I always believe that money is the final motivation for people.
