Language…a communicating method for ideas, feelings and desires
Language is expressive and can be judgmental
It can encourage, discourage and hurt
It can be very rewarding…
Oh, language! The power of expression.
Strong headed, unforgiving
Has many faces through which it adds hinges to one's life
Has no respect for age, race, ethnic and colour…Even gender.
Turning to innocent juveniles, vibrant youths and strong adults…male and female
Component of your face includes, wrong use of expression…
LISTEN TO THIS: you are a disgrace to our family, you are HIV +,
You will soon die;
Don’t move close to me, you are positive
Cultural practices…Female genital mutilation
Negative economic domination…Child labour
Social and society wrongs…Rape
Domestic physical, emotional, and psychological abuse to young women.
Violence is the name!
You come as everyday language in the world of youths
As a replacement for proper and useful communication
You are selfish…Always satisfying your own needs…First
Indeed, you are very complex.
Violence is not only an action towards our fellows, but also a practice in our society
Language as violence to ourselves, violence as language to the society
You are a form of discrimination.
You come along with stigma…HIV/AIDS
You are a wicked practice against young women… Female genital mutilation
You are a crude action against juveniles…FORCED LABOUR
You caused youth to perceive rape as a form of violence
Mental, social and interpersonal unresolved issues are your consequences
Violence is avoidable!
A sudden sound, refreshing, calm and evergreen,
From a distance, fast, maybe slow and traditional
Oh! That is music …combination of beautiful sounds
This can be an alternative to violence among youth and in our society,
You promote love, and mutual understanding
Music…Quenches the thirst of violence
Finally, music in language, language in music.
