Wise I
Wise I - meaning Summary
Language Under Siege
The poem warns that when a people are prevented from speaking their own language and have their cultural symbols and music destroyed, they face profound, long-lasting danger. Its spare lines link linguistic suppression to cultural erasure and existential threat, suggesting recovery may take centuries. The tone is urgent and accusatory, portraying silencing as an act of domination with enduring consequences for identity and survival.
