Defusing Destructive Discourse, a Plea
by Francisco Gomes de Matos, a peace linguist from Brazil
By Humankind so many marvels for meaning-making are used
and a myriad constructive communicative intentions are diffused
but sadly, many dehumanizing, dignity-violating ideas are being infused
Let´s do our best so all forms of destructive discourse be defused!
