But They Still Communicate
By Ora Anna Ihimbazwe Kirezi
Communication is a big part of life
Where would we be without it?
What would we do in its absence?
Would we be like animals?
Be armed with a sharp knife?
Failure to talk over differences
Concerns or grievances?
No! No! No!
Even animals communicate
Not only a due of the primate
They organize their own groups
Birds chirp, tweet and whistle.
Dogs bark, growl and whimper
And spiders …
Wait! They don’t make sounds
Or utter what’s on their minds
BUT THEY STILL COMMUNICATE!
