NaPoWriMo Day 2 - Subtitles

Subtitles

A Japanese anime presents
two choices, a dilemma,
original, English subtitles
or new audio, dubbed over

Without a thought, I always
always choose the same
as it was originally written
so should it be enjoyed

Tonight, however, a new thought
on why the Tower of Babel
lay uncompleted, languages
across the world divided

Why desire a unified language?
Why seek an official language
as if one is any better, best
worthy of being elevated

Understanding is important,
learning all, unfeasible.
But, if given the choice,
I would take a world of subtitles
