is it a virus?

Laurie Anderson has a song, 'language is a virus from outer space'.
i don't know. say no ,no, no.
humans are the virus, humans enter each other in many ways,
multiply, replicate, take possession until the hosts either die
or drop out or heal , antibodies filling their system, needy of anti, of fighting back, of defence.
humans are the virus.
humans.
not language.
language is a tool like a shovel, a spade, a violin.
what we do with it gives meaning, beauty, dreams, death, boredom,
loneliness or approach.
when we rest our work at hand, we put the shovel to the side-
we fall silent.
language is nothing but a fucking lot of work, slavery, weeding out gardens,
watering and showing our presence in sound and noise. language can hide us or turn us completely naked,
we stand there as fools with our heart on our tongues, it is bleeding and nobody wants to see.
we stand there with a water hose in our hand but the garden has disappeared.
say no, say no.,no.
language is not a virus.
it is just dangerous as everything is.
shovels and words can be weapons.
let us put them down.
we are the virus.
we, us..
can we give another spin to our dna, break patterns in the shining singing spiral,
the scintillating code, can we be happy without killing?
without dominating, without using other humans as our prey?
can we?
can we synchronize with laughter, joy and the dance of life?
can we be calm and let others be, can we grow humour,  wisdom and love?
good night.
