survivors screams
lovers sighs
laughter and lullabyes
sound the same
in every language

I liked this one a lot...I had that old "Got 13 Words" contest in my bookmarks and I'm finally reading through the entries. So far this is my favorite.

Endearing & uplifting!!!
Short & sweet, less is more...
So much said in so few words...
Profound words that make you contemplate the similarities of us as a species despite language, culture, colour or creed. For even on the most basic level, we all have the same needs, wants & dreams...
Another faultless write...
Well done!!!

this piece of poetry is like a barmcake with all the nice fillings stuffed in it, it can be devoured with ease and then the want for more.

Indeed they do and a valid point that you have thrived across here. A little bland but you have entrusted a 'secret' some fail to realize, even when words are just words and we live the same air.
Thanks for entering,
