Drawings of sounds, systems of alphabets —
Calling cards of peoples, their identity,
Carriers of knowledge and problems of conflicts,
Ossified through their habitualness.

The ancestors’ inheritance,
Changed and not lost
A history of reforms,
In every letter — its own allegory.

Humankind has always lacked words,
In them our strength and in them our infirmity.
Sounds alone are not enough.
There are 25 of them, combinations without number.
