Food Is A Global Language
Food is a Universal Language,
a Language well understood by Animals
that giving and receiving conveys.
Food is a Universal Language,
a Language understood by Humans as well-
growing, preparing raw or cooked, hot or cold,
made and served with indifference
or enchanted by a wholesome love.
Like plants know soil, water- bodies do too,
communicating good or ill health.
Food speaks of pleasure, nourishment, health,
artistry and whether or not we care.

World View
We’ve evolved to understand
the State of our World View-
that how wee see the World
is what we think and say and do.
Familiar Comforts of Traditions
in Cultures and Religions too,
passed on through Generations,
hold or bind us to our Past
Inspiring or even Oppressing
until we’re ‘Free At Last’.
What do we Welcome or Oppose?
What do we Embrace or Refuse?
How do we engage others-
especially those Different?
Is our Choice the Good Will Voice
of Tolerance and Acceptance
or is it Defence and Offence?
Is it Debate or Argument?
Debate can be a way
for us to Decide and Choose
what is still or now true for us,
whether ‘win’ or ‘lose’,
depending on our World Views.
Different perspectives,
even opposing viewpoints
in respectful discussions
can persuade and sway
with healthy conversations,
minds and hearts at work and play.
Rational Reason and Healthy Emotion
then align to have their say.
Arguments with fair Solutions
can vent and clear the air,
changing conditions and situations
among those who truly care
but often Hostility leads to Futility
creating Misery everywhere.
What we think and say and do
all depends on our World View
inherited through Generations,
Cultural and Religious Traditions,
Mass Entertainments and Educations,
all contributing to our World View.
