Languages I Hate

I hate French,
Too many wasted letters therein,
I detest English
Too many borrowed words it has,
Oh! I loathe Chinese too,
It is Greek to me!
Let Yoruba not reach the doorstep of my mouth,
Too many words with various sounds.

The only language I cherish
Is the language of our love,
The language of silence
On breezy nights when the cold wind
Whispers unto our bare skin
Under the light of the blue celestial watchdog.
