( votes)Warning! !anguage Ahead!
written by: J.Ahlberg
@anothermadidea
All language is sensitive
Meaning isn't definitive
Context creates alternative
Views are comparative
Warnings aren't preventative
Nice is often negative
Swearing can be relative
It's soppy to be tentative
Sweetness is a sedative
Bland is simply decorative
Content is imperative
Prosey is hypersensitive
When made of flimsy flowers,
But language argumentative
Emboldens and empowers.
