The Monument
by E. C. Turla
I see our tongue preserved in gold
But what the heck would that thing hold,
Save it was once alive and bold
Vibrant, but now so dead and cold.
A future monument can't take
The place of my, oh for God's sake,
Inherent language crushed and killed
Like dandelion seen as weed
Let it then live and sing with glee
Like that bluebird up in the tree
Better to be heard anyway
Than just be history someday
To rescue it is much better
Than build a monument later
So let's keep it alive and well
It's not yet late, this we can tell
