缄默

一旦诗般美丽的语言
被用来引爆
新仇旧恨的
炮弹
人类需要
另一种全新的
弃绝音节的
缄默

面对这荒谬绝伦的世界
他们其实也
无话可说


注:在波士尼亚战火里生长的小孩,有不少因心灵受创而失去说话能力。
而一位引发战火的塞尔维亚人领袖,据说还是位诗人呢。


SILENCE

when poetic language
is used to ignite
hatred
and bombs
it's time to abandon
words
syllables
and sounds

to this absurd world
they really have nothing
to say

Note: Many children born and raised in the warring Bosnia
were so traumatized that they lost the ability to speak.
Ironically, one of the Serbian leaders was said to be a poet.

It well answered Yeats' question :"What more is there to say?"

Really, nothing more to say.

这的确过于荒谬,但是发动战争的诗人还有很多。
