To us
Who were of necessary birth
For the earths hard and thankless toil
Silence has no meaning
There is never a feeling of tranquility
Or mere quietness
Never a moment of soundless calm
From within or without our troubled selves
How can the clamor of sounds be stilled
There is no void where noises can collect and made mute
Pure silent space
How indeed
Can there be silence
When our hearts beat out a sonorous beat
Meeting the beating drums of an african past
When our eyes shed solid tears of iron blood
That falls on concrete ground
Inside our ears are the many wailing cries of misery
Inside our bodies the internal bleeding of volcanoes
Inside our heads
Wrapped in thoughts of rebellion
How can there be calm
When the storm is yet to come
This unending silence
Taut impervious unbending
Not lending an ear to the most delicate sounds
Awaits the blast of bombs
Which man will explode
To break this silent bond
Returment there fate
To the use to create
Hills of soft obedience
Where sweet clothed sounds can rebound
And their echoes glide
Like a carefree bird
In rhythmic calm
To a mellow
Pure silent space
