I had to borrow your language because mines was stolen (Jamila Lyiscott). Watching the video of Jamila Lyiscotts poetry makes me think of how much control or power we as individuals are limited to even when it comes to ourselves. For instance why do we have to talk, walk or dress a certain way?, and if its not proper etiquette or professional as many say, its wrong. We as humans and as different people should be able to express our feelings or thoughts in the different ways possible we best know how. Why should we be bound to speak only one way when their are many ways to express oneself?. As I really think about it especially after reading "how to tame a wild tongue" and watching Jamila Lyiscotts video how can there be any wrong way to say anything? why disconnect someone from there culture or belittle them claiming ones intellect must be lower because the individual(s) don't sound alike?, "who is to say that robbing people of its language is less violent than war?"(Ray Gwyn Smith).
