Voluble ...

Today’s word is “voluble” ... vol-yuh-buhl ... characterized by a ready and continuous flow of words; fluent; glib; talkative: a voluble spokesman for the cause. (Dictionary.com)

Right
As you listen to their words,
Flowing voluble into space,
And wonder at their lack of sense,
And in particular, lack of grace,

It seems that these very broken ones,
Are unaware of their lost state,
They wildly fling their guile about,
As if disagreements can be won with hate.

Disparaging all those they fight against,
Only locks the others in their stance,
How can the sides seek compromise,
Hear the music, choose to dance?
