Two Sides Of Silence (口白) - Linton Kwesi Johnson[00:00:00]

Written by：Linton Kwesi Johnson[00:00:00]

To us[00:00:00]

Who were of necessary birth[00:00:01]

For the earths hard and thankless toil[00:00:05]

Silence has no meaning[00:00:10]

There is never a feeling of tranquility[00:00:13]

Or mere quietness[00:00:17]

Never a moment of soundless calm[00:00:20]

From within or without our troubled selves[00:00:24]

How can the clamor of sounds be stilled[00:00:28]

There is no void where noises can collect and made mute[00:00:32]

Pure silent space[00:00:37]

How indeed[00:00:40]

Can there be silence[00:00:41]

When our hearts beat out a sonorous beat[00:00:43]

Meeting the beating drums of an african past[00:00:47]

When our eyes shed solid tears of iron blood[00:00:51]

That falls on concrete ground[00:00:56]

Inside our ears are the many wailing cries of misery[00:01:00]

Inside our bodies the internal bleeding of volcanoes[00:01:05]

Inside our heads[00:01:10]

Wrapped in thoughts of rebellion[00:01:13]

How can there be calm[00:01:16]

When the storm is yet to come[00:01:19]

This unending silence[00:01:25]

Taut impervious unbending[00:01:28]

Not lending an ear to the most delicate sounds[00:01:32]

Awaits the blast of bombs[00:01:38]

Which man will explode[00:01:41]

To break this silent bond[00:01:43]

Returment there fate[00:01:46]

To the use to create[00:01:48]

Hills of soft obedience[00:01:50]

Where sweet clothed sounds can rebound[00:01:53]

And their echoes glide[00:01:57]

Like a carefree bird[00:02:00]

In rhythmic calm[00:02:02]

To a mellow[00:02:04]

Pure silent space[00:02:06]
