Watch your language
Words weave in and out of our lives
Hold the power to tell truth or lies
Can build a bridge or a wall
Spoken in foolishness they divide
Conveyed in understanding they unify
This is why I carry a dictionary by my side
Disassemble the literal meaning
Enfold in modern discourse
Watch to see if it holds its burden
For there is no hiding intention in expression
Misuse reveals their mark
As much as missing lines are a sign
A stranglehold has prevailed in silence
Soundbites are shoved into mouths
Conversations are polite scripts
Nothing really matters
Truth is greeted with disbelief
History is re-written
Ideologies run on repeat
Until they are believed
Narrowing options
Knowledge is lost
Watch your language
For it is the thread that binds humanity
~ Camille
“Watch your language” is a manifesto for meaning — a poem about words as power, the collapse of conversation into scripts and soundbites, and the quiet violence of rewritten truth.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece holds a fierce clarity — a reminder that language can bind or break us, and the thread of humanity depends on how we speak, what we question, and what we refuse to let be lost.
