not civilized

desperate and wanting, you are undisciplined!
i’d teach you manners like, “speak when spoken to, and not out of turn.”
or, “sit quietly until summoned to the floor.”
but, suppression is a cruel asphyxiation.
absolution from such polite prison releases a deranged sound.
an unlovely disgorging of heart, mind & soul.
your unbridled assertions are raw and uncouth.
but, there is awakening on your lips.
an unburdened passion in your articulation.
so, you must speak.
and, i must give you voice.
one perhaps more refined… but not civilized.
