Unsaid Words Will Die Screaming

Quiet not
the raging mouths that scream
differently tuned

songs, which burst
with conviction, with outrage,
with words you
ve never held
between skull and teeth.

Living words (and people) will
not be muzzled
without cruelty (or war)--

unsaid words
fight to become.
Let them
(we must)
be something,
do something,
say something
...

or lose
everything.

 
The Scream
, by Edvard Munch
