      Is language god?

      I am an English teacher
      But I don’t know what language is
      Could you tell me what it is please?
      Is it the integration of skills?
      Or the collection of poems?
      Some say it is communication
      Or others say it is thought
      Is it a mere sound Or a sign?
      What about phonetics
      Or semantics?
      Grammar and vocabulary
      Too fascinate me

      A student asked me
      Sir, Does the forest
      Consists of trees?
      Or do trees constitute
      The forest?
      Do trunk tail ,legs
      Eyes etc’ make an
      Elephant or  does the
      Elephant have them?
      You can understand
      What my answer is
      I think the same of language
      Is language as mysterious as God?
