Poem: Spoken Word, Unspoken Rule

language is 
a funny thing
different ways
to express oneself
an innocuous word
in one is a grave insult 
in another
a whole way of 
thinking 
feeling 
experiencing 
it is an unspoken 
agreement 
among a group 
of people 
on what is important 
and what is not 
and the social rules 
that govern them
yours is not superior
it's what you're used to.
